You should pay attention to the fact that "fgetcsv" does remove leading TAB-chars "chr(9)" while reading the file. This means if you have a chr(9) as the first char in the file and you use fgetcsv this char is automaticaly deleted. Example: file content: chr(9)first#second#third#fourth source: <?php $line = fgetcsv($handle,500,"#"); ?> The array $line looks like: $line[0] = first $line[1] = second $line[2] = third $line[3] = fourth and not $line[0] = chr(9)first $line[1] = second $line[2] = third $line[3] = fourth All chr(9) after another char is not deleted! Example: file content: Achr(9)first#second#third#fourth source: <?php $line = fgetcsv($handle,500,"#"); ?> The array $line looks like: $line[0] = Achr(9)first $line[1] = second $line[2] = third $line[3] = fourth --was-- You should pay attention to the fact that "fgetcsv" does remove leading TAB-chars "chr(9)" while reading the file.
