ID: 45356 Comment by: info at johanneshoppe dot com Reported by: al at txtlocal dot com Summary: fgetcsv() £ symbol stripped if first char in cell Status: No Feedback Type: Bug Package: Filesystem function related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 5.2.6 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: This happens to every NON ASCII char as the first char in a cell. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-08-19 13:15:32] gtisza at gmail dot com fgetcsv() seems to throw the first character away if it is invalid in the current locale, but ignores invalid characters which are not at the beginning of a cell. This code reproduces the problem in PHP 5.3.6: <?php setlocale(LC_ALL,'C'); $utfchar = chr(0xC3).chr(0x89); // U+009C in UTF-8 $csv = $utfchar."x".$utfchar."x\n"; file_put_contents('test.csv', $csv); $file = fopen('test.csv', 'r'); $data = fgetcsv($file); for ($i = 0; $i < strlen($data[0]); $i++) { echo dechex(ord($data[0][$i])).' '; } echo "\n"; unlink('test.csv'); // expected: c3 89 78 c3 89 78 - "ÉxÉx" // actual: 78 c3 89 78 - "xÉx" ?> I agree with the commenter in bug 12127 that a CSV function should not mess with encodings in the first place, just copy the content byte-by-byte. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-09-08 22:06:42] sfschiller at gmail dot com based on [mk at kurznet dot com] a change of the locale information helps. setlocale(LC_ALL,'de_DE.8859-1'); setting the locale information to a unicode or UTF locale names will lose the first letters. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-09-08 19:04:43] mk at kurznet dot com if have the same problem with php 5.2.6 the csv file looks like this: äüö123äüö;auo123äüö $handle = fopen($path."Mappe3.csv","r"); while ($data = fgetcsv ($handle, 4096, ";")) { print_r($data); } fclose ($handle); Array ( [0] => 123äüö [1] => auo123äüö ) with PHP 5.2.5 and 4.4.8 everything is ok ? is this a bug or a feature ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-07-27 01:00:01] php-bugs at lists dot php dot net No feedback was provided for this bug for over a week, so it is being suspended automatically.

To properly diagnose the problem, we need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce this bug ourselves. A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>, is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external resources such as databases, etc. If the script requires a database to demonstrate the issue, please make sure it creates all necessary tables, stored procedures etc. Please avoid embedding huge scripts into the report. I'm unable to reproduce it with a simple scripts neither with 5.2.6 nor with 5.3.0-dev. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
