Parameters
| Parameter | Data type | Default value | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
$handle |
resource |
not | A valid file pointer to a file successfully opened by fopen, popen, or fsockopen. |
$length |
int |
null, | Must be greater than the longest line (in characters) to be found in the CSV file (allowing for trailing line-end characters). It became optional in PHP 5. Omitting this parameter (or setting it to 0 in PHP 5.0.4 and later) the maximum line length is not limited, which is slightly slower. |

null, | Set the field delimiter (one character only). |
$enclosure |
string |
null, | Set the field enclosure character (one character only). |
$escape |
string |
null | Set the escape character (one character only). Defaults as a backslash. |
Return values
array
an indexed array containing the fields read.
A blank line in a CSV file will be returned as an array comprising a single null field, and will not be treated as an error.
¬e.line-endings;fgetcsv returns &null; if an invalid handle is supplied or false on other errors, including end of file.
