note 69899 deleted from function.split by didou

Note Submitter: destes at ix dot netcom dot com ---- There is an error with my note dated 14 February 2006. The function as shown does not properly handle CSV data in the following case: 1,"foo",,"bar" this should get split to: { [0] => 1 [1] => foo [2] => [3] => bar } (the blank entry 2 is because of the doubled commas). However, in the function listed, entry 2 would get ignored by the function because it's interpreted as a unitary delimiter and ignored as containing valid data. Yet it DOES contain valid data, it indicates a blank field value. To fix this, replace this line in the function: if ((strlen($val)-$delimlen-$delimlen) >= 1) { with this: if ((strlen($val)-$delimlen) >= 1) { This way, entries at the end of lines or between "foo","bar" will get properly parsed, but "foo",,"bar" will still be OK.
