You should pay attention to the fact that "fgetcsv" does remove leading TAB-chars "chr(9)" while reading the file.
This means if you have a chr(9) as the first char in the file and you use fgetcsv this char is automaticaly deleted.
Example:
file content:
chr(9)first#second#third#fourth
source:
<?php $line = fgetcsv($handle,500,"#"); ?>
The array $line looks like:
$line[0] = first
$line[1] = second
$line[2] = third
$line[3] = fourth
and not
$line[0] = chr(9)first
$line[1] = second
$line[2] = third
$line[3] = fourth
All chr(9) after another char is not deleted!
Example:
file content:
Achr(9)first#second#third#fourth
source:
<?php $line = fgetcsv($handle,500,"#"); ?>
The array $line looks like:
$line[0] = Achr(9)first
$line[1] = second
$line[2] = third
$line[3] = fourth
