note 99901 added to function.fgetcsv

Regarding the previous post about not handing double quotes in a .csv file. This isn't the case, you just have to make sure you set the .csv file up correctly. Firstly, if you set the enclosure param to be a double-quote you are saying that the .csv file you are reading has surrounded certain data with double quotes. This is usually because the data inside contains commas too. The double quotes around the data lets us know that those commas are part of the data and are not defining seperate columns in the .csv file. Now, the next problem you may face is if you also want to put double-quotes in the data. This is the problem the previous post is facing. All you need to do is make sure that any instance of a double quote in the data is repeated twice. So an example of a row of data (with 4 columns) would be: data1,data2,"This, is ""data"" 3",data4 All you do is ensure that you repeat the doublequote twice in the data area whenever it is referred to. The fgetcsv() function will then extract the data to be: col1 = data1 col2 = data2 col3 = This, is "data" 3 col4 = data4 Alternatively, when you export data to a .csv file you usually get the option of selecting the enclosure character. Just make sure it's something unique that you know you won't find in your data. Then in fgetcsv(), just set the enclosure param to be the same character.
