fgetcsv Gets line from file pointer and parse for CSV fields &reftitle.description; arrayfgetcsv resourcehandle intlength stringdelimiter',' stringenclosure'"' stringescape'\\' Similar to fgets except that fgetcsv parses the line it reads for fields in CSV format and returns an array containing the fields read. &reftitle.parameters; handle A valid file pointer to a file successfully opened by fopen, popen, or fsockopen. length Must be greater than the longest line (in characters) to be found in the CSV file (allowing for trailing line-end characters). It became optional in PHP 5. Omitting this parameter (or setting it to 0 in PHP 5.0.4 and later) the maximum line length is not limited, which is slightly slower. delimiter Set the field delimiter (one character only). enclosure Set the field enclosure character (one character only). escape Set the escape character (one character only). Defaults as a backslash. &reftitle.returnvalues; Returns an indexed array containing the fields read. A blank line in a CSV file will be returned as an array comprising a single null field, and will not be treated as an error. ¬e.line-endings; fgetcsv returns &null; if an invalid handle is supplied or &false; on other errors, including end of file. &reftitle.changelog; &Version; &Description; 5.3.0 The escape parameter was added 4.3.5 fgetcsv is now binary safe 4.3.0 The enclosure parameter was added &reftitle.examples; Read and print the entire contents of a CSV file $num fields in line $row:
