fgetcsv()
fgetcsv - Gets line from file pointer and parse for CSV fields
Syntax
array fgetcsv (
resource $handle,
int $length,
string $delimiter,
string $enclosure,
string $escape)
Arguments
- 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.
Description
Similar to fgets() except that fgetcsv() parses the line it reads for fields in CSVformat and returns an array containing the fields read.
Version
PHP 4, 5
Return value
Returns an indexed array containing the fields read.
