Friends and I commented on this issue a LONG time ago and have been using a user-land function because fputcsv is a data-lossy function. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-02-15 17:16:01] cmb@php.net Related To: Bug #66727 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-09-11 23:53:08] cmb@php.net Related To: Bug #43225 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
