Considering the increasing use of UTF-8, IMO it should be clearly stated in the documentation that support concerning multibyte encodings is not yet avail and anyone using such encodings is way better off implementing their own way of parsing CSV files than using fgetcsv(). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=38477&edit=1
