Now that's not true. Excel and other spreadsheet programs happily accept
them. They also create multi-line quoted fields when exporting data that has
newlines in them. And having PHP parse those correctly is one of the few
ways getting data out of those apps.

[PHP-DEV] fgetcsv problems was: register_shutdown_function => register_offline_function

[Brian Moon]

Well, this goes back to my original problem with fgetcsv then.  I can not
find another application that will accept a CSV file that will allow
mutliline quoted fields.  They stop at the newline regardless.
