fgetcsv

Synopsis

array fgetcsv(int handle, int length[, string delimiter[, string enclosure]])

Reads the next line from the file referenced by handle and parses the line as a comma-separated values (CSV) line. The longest line to read is given by length. If supplied, delimiter is used to delimit the values for the line instead of commas. If supplied, enclosure is a single character that is used to enclose values (by default, the double-quote " character). For example, to read and display all lines from a file containing tab-separated values, use:

$fp = fopen("somefile.tab", "r");

while($line = fgetcsv($fp, 1024, "\t")) {
  print "<p>" . count($line) . "fields:</p>";
  print_r($line);
}
fclose($fp);
