note 107911 added to function.fgetcsv

fgetcsv seems to handle newlines within fields fine. So in fact it is not reading a line, but keeps reading untill it finds a \n-character that's not quoted as a field. Example: <?php /* test.csv contains: "col 1","col2","col3" "this is having multiple lines","this not","this also not" "normal record","nothing to see here","no data" */ $handle = fopen("test.csv", "r"); while (($data = fgetcsv($handle)) !== FALSE) { var_dump($data); } ?> Returns: array(3) { [0]=> string(5) "col 1" [1]=> string(4) "col2" [2]=> string(4) "col3" } array(3) { [0]=> string(29) "this is having multiple lines" [1]=> string(8) "this not" [2]=> string(13) "this also not" } array(3) { [0]=> string(13) "normal record" [1]=> string(19) "nothing to see here" [2]=> string(7) "no data" } This means that you can expect fgetcsv to handle newlines within fields fine. This was not clear from the documentation. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 188.118.4.210 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fgetcsv.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/107911 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107911/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107911/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107911/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107911/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107911/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107911/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107911 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/107911 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
