This is expected since "\" is the escape character. Reclassified as docu problem - fputcsv() does not escape the data, you have to do it yourself. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-09-22 00:03:09] mike at opendns dot com Description: ------------ If a string you write to a CSV file with fputcsv() ends with an _odd_ number of backslashes, then when you read it back in with fgetcsv(), it'll miss the delimeter and combine two elements into one. Reproduce code: --------------- $tmp_file = '/tmp/csv_f_up.tmp'; $data_to_write = array('string ends with _odd_ number of backslashes \\\\\\',"and isn't the last element"); echo "data_to_write:\n"; var_dump($data_to_write); $h_w = fopen($tmp_file, 'w'); fputcsv($h_w, $data_to_write); fclose($h_w); $h_r = fopen($tmp_file, 'r'); $data_read_in = fgetcsv($h_r); fclose($h_r); echo "data_read_in:\n"; var_dump($data_read_in); Expected result: ---------------- data_to_write: array(2) { [0]=> string(48) "string ends with _odd_ number of backslashes \\\" [1]=> string(26) "and isn't the last element" } data_read_in: array(2) { [0]=> string(48) "string ends with _odd_ number of backslashes \\\" [1]=> string(26) "and isn't the last element" } } Actual result: -------------- data_to_write: array(2) { [0]=> string(48) "string ends with _odd_ number of backslashes \\\" [1]=> string(26) "and isn't the last element" } data_read_in: array(1) { [0]=> string(77) "string ends with _odd_ number of backslashes \\\",and isn't the last element"" } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=38918&edit=1
