#27730 [Opn]: fgetcsv() fails on 2 newlines

ID: 27730 Updated by: rasmus@php.net Reported By: clemens at gutweiler dot net Status: Open -Bug Type: Filesystem function related +Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: Linux 2.6.3 (and 2.4.20) PHP Version: 4.3.5 New Comment: This isn't actually a bug. I have changed this to a documentation problem as the example on the fgetcsv() page is not very good. The text description of the function is however correct. You get a zero-element array for blank lines and FALSE on end of file. So your code should have a loop like this: while( ($d = fgetcsv( $fp, 4096, ';' )) !== FALSE ) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-03-27 08:50:09] clemens at gutweiler dot net Description: ------------ fgetcsv() breaks reading when a line has no cdata (eg. \n\n) Reproduce code: --------------- <?php $fn = tempnam( '/tmp', 'test' ); if( $fp = fopen( $fn, 'w' ) ) { fwrite( $fp, "one;val1\ntwo;val2\n\nthree;val3\n" ); fclose( $fp ); if( $fp = fopen( $fn, 'r' ) ) { $items = array( ); while( $d = fgetcsv( $fp, 4096, ';' ) ) { $items[] = $d; } fclose( $fp ); var_dump( $items ); } } ?> Expected result: ---------------- $items-count of 4 Actual result: -------------- $item-count of 2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=27730&edit=1
