PHP fgetcsv() Function
 Complete PHP Filesystem Reference
Definition and Usage
The fgetcsv() function parses a line from an open file, checking for
CSV fields.
The fgetcsv() function stops returning on a new line, at the specified length,
or at EOF, whichever comes first.
This function returns the CSV fields in an array on success, or FALSE on
failure and EOF.
Syntax
fgetcsv(file,length,separator,enclosure)

| Parameter |
Description |
| file |
Required. Specifies the file to check |
| length |
Optional. Specifies the maximum length of a line. Must be
greater than the longest line (in characters) in the CSV file. Omitting this
parameter (or setting it to 0) the line length is not limited, which is
slightly slower. Note: This parameter is required in versions prior to
PHP 5 |
| separator |
Optional. A character that specifies the field separator.
Default is comma ( , ) |

Optional. A character that specifies the field enclosure
character. Default is " |
