#37942 [Opn->Bgs]: fgetcsv strips certain characters from beginning of a field if not quoted

ID: 37942 User updated by: bugs dot php dot net_alex at gareis dot info Reported By: bugs dot php dot net_alex at gareis dot info -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Filesystem function related Operating System: Linux (Debian) PHP Version: 5.1.4 New Comment: Obviously i was wrong. Though calls to setlocale() resulted in no error, they did not have any effect, as "locales" was not installed on the systems where the error was reproduced. Now, with working locales and setting "en_US.iso8859-1" the CSVs parse just fine. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-06-28 08:43:22] bugs dot php dot net_alex at gareis dot info Description: ------------ Despite the correct locale settings, fgetcsv strips characters from the beginning of a field, if the field is not quoted correctly. Reproduced with PHP 5.1.2-Debian-0.1~sarge1, PHP 5.1.4-1.dotdeb.2, locales en_US, en_US.UTF-8, POSIX. NOT reproduced with PHP 5.0.5-2ubuntu1.2 (en_US.UTF-8), 5.1.4-Debian-0.1~sarge1 (en_US) Might actually not be a bug, but a documentation problem - however, i do not think this related to the similar bug reports present. Reproduce code: --------------- #!/usr/local/bin/php -Cq <?php if (is_file('temp')) die("temp!\n"); $fcontent = 'foo,öbar,®¯°ä»,"öbar","®¯°ä»"'; file_put_contents('temp', $fcontent); echo 'plain: '.file_get_contents('temp')."\n\nfgetcsv: "; $fp = fopen('temp', 'r'); print_r(fgetcsv($fp, 1024, ',', '"')); fclose($fp); unlink('temp'); ?> Expected result: ---------------- plain: foo,öbar,®¯°ä»,"öbar","®¯°ä»" fgetcsv: Array ( [0] => foo [1] => öbar [2] => ®¯°ä» [3] => öbar [4] => ®¯°ä» ) Actual result: -------------- plain: foo,öbar,®¯°ä»,"öbar","®¯°ä»" fgetcsv: Array ( [0] => foo [1] => bar [2] => [3] => öbar [4] => ®¯°ä» ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=37942&edit=1
