fgetcsv Gets line from file pointer and parse for CSV fields &reftitle.description; arrayfgetcsv resourcehandle intlength0 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). Otherwise the line is split in chunks of length characters, unless the split would occur inside an enclosure. Omitting this parameter (or setting it to 0 in PHP 5.1.0 and later) the maximum line length is not limited, which is slightly slower. delimiter The optional delimiter parameter sets the field delimiter (one character only). enclosure The optional enclosure parameter sets the field enclosure character (one character only). escape The optional escape parameter sets the escape character (one character only). &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 5.1.0 The length is now optional. Default is 0, meaning no length limit. 4.3.5 fgetcsv is now binary safe &reftitle.examples; $num fields in line $row:
