note 101888 modified in function.str-getcsv by danbrown

As the str_getcsv(), unlike to fgetcsv(), does not parse the rows in CSV string, I have found following easy workaround: <?php $Data = str_getcsv($CsvString, "\n"); //parse the rows foreach($Data as &$Row) $Row = str_getcsv($Row, ";"); //parse the items in rows ?> Why not use explode() instead of str_getcsv() to parse rows? Because explode() would not treat possible enclosured parts of string or escaped characters correctly. --was-- As the str_getcsv(), unlike to fgetcsv(), does not parse the rows in CSV string, I have found following easy workaround: $Data = str_getcsv($CsvString, "\n"); //parse the rows foreach($Data as &$Row) $Row = str_getcsv($Row, ";"); //parse the items in rows Why not use explode() instead of str_getcsv() to parse rows?
