It became optional in PHP 5. Omitting this parameter (or setting it to 0 in PHP 5.0.4 and later) the maximum line length is not limited, which is slightly slower." This is wrong. I have a php 5.0.4 environment using fgetcsv() in a while loop as follows: fgetcsv($csvHandle, 0, self::DELIMITER); And the 0 does not put no limit on the max line length, instead the fgetcsv() call gets each individual character on the line in the file ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=61048&edit=1
