Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

In un-quoted strings a new line breaks the line.

Description:
------------
If a csv field contains something like ...\"...\"... followed by a
newline, fgetcsv assumes that the newline is the end of the datarow
even it isn't the end of the field.

There's no problem if the field only contains text and newlines or only
...\"...\"...

If you create a Spreadsheet (2Rows with 3Columns) containing this:

<Row 1 Column 1>: R1C1
<Row 1 Column 2>: say \"YES\" to
element in next line
<Row 1 Column 3>: R1C3
<Row 2 Column 1>: R2C1
<Row 2 Column 2>: something with
multilines
<Row 2 Column 3>: R2C3

and export this to CSV, you will get:

R1C1;"say \""YES\"" to
element in next line";R1C3
R2C1;"something with
multilines";R2C3

This is correct Standard-CSV. But if you try to read it with fgetcsv
you will get a Result containing 3 Rows, the first and the second
containing 2 Elements, the third contains 3 Elements.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php

$csv_data="R1C1;\"say \\\"\"YES\\\"\" to\nelement in next
line\";R1C3\nR2C1;\"something with\nmultilines\";R2C3\n";

$filename = "/tmp/test.csv";
$handle = fopen($filename, "wb");
fwrite($handle, $csv_data,strlen($csv_data));
fclose($handle);

$handle = fopen($filename, "rb");
while (($data = fgetcsv($handle,100000,";","\"")) !== FALSE) {
  $result[]=$data;
} // 
fclose($handle);

print_r($result);

?>


Expected result:
----------------
Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [0] => R1C1
            [1] => say \"YES\" to
element in next line
            [2] => R1C3
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [0] => R2C1
            [1] => something with
multilines
            [2] => R2C3
        )

)


Actual result:
--------------
Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [0] => R1C1
            [1] => say \"YES\" to
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [0] => element in next line"
            [1] => R1C3
        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [0] => R2C1
            [1] => something with
multilines
            [2] => R2C3
        )

)


Note: There's no Problem, if there is no linebreak in Row1 Column2 and
there is also no Problem if you don't have the backslashes in the
line.
