(PHP 5 >= 5.3.0, PHP 7)
str_getcsv — Parse a CSV string into an array
Description
$input
[, string $delimiter
= ","
[, string $enclosure
= '"'
[, string $escape
= "\\"
]]] ) : arrayParses a string input for fields in CSV format and returns an array containing the fields read.
Note:
The locale settings are taken into account by this function. If LC_CTYPE is e.g. en_US.UTF-8, strings in one-byte encodings may be read wrongly by this function.
Parameters
-
input
-
The string to parse.
-
delimiter
-
Set the field delimiter (one character only).
-
enclosure
-
Set the field enclosure character (one character only).
-
escape
-
Set the escape character (at most one character). Defaults as a backslash (\) An empty string ("") disables the proprietary escape mechanism.
Note: Usually an
enclosure
character is escaped inside a field by doubling it; however, theescape
character can be used as an alternative. So for the default parameter values "" and \" have the same meaning. Other than allowing to escape theenclosure
character theescape
character has no special meaning; it isn't even meant to escape itself.
Changelog
Version | Description |
---|---|
7.4.0 |
The escape parameter now interprets an empty
string as signal to disable the proprietary escape mechanism. Formerly,
an empty string was treated like the default parameter value.
