note 95600 added to function.fgetcsv

PHP's implementation does not follow RFC 4180 or Wikipedia's description, and does not work in all cases with Excel or OO Calc, as described in bug http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=50686 . Here is an RFC 4180-complient implementation in PHP. This can parse more than 1MiB of CSV text per second, so while it obviously would be faster if written in C, it should be fast enough for most uses. It is fairly strict, in that it does not allow whitespace before the start of a quoted item, such as 1, "2" ,3 , in according to the standard, but it would be simple to make it laxer. It supports both \r\n and \n linebreaks, where the standard only supports \r\n. whitespace is just another data character, so '1, 2,3 ' becomes Array(1, " 2", "3 "). backslashes are also just another character, as backslashes have no special meaning in RFC 4180. Posted on my blog, since this comment section doesn't allow posts long enough to hold it: http://thuejk.blogspot.com/2010/01/ phps-implementation-of-fgetcsv-and.html . (Link in two parts, since the comment system won't allow it in one as the line would be too long. PHP annoyance #324. Sometimes I wonder why I bother with PHP.) ---- Server IP: 195.184.96.15 Probable Submitter: 83.221.149.227 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fgetcsv.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/95600 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95600/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95600/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95600/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95600/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95600/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95600/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95600 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/95600 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
