Setting the $escape parameter dosn't return unescaped strings, but just avoid splitting on a $delimiter that have an escpae-char infront of it:
<?php
$tmp_file = "/tmp/test.csv";
file_put_contents($tmp_file, "\"first\\\";\\\"secound\"");
echo "raw:" . PHP_EOL . file_get_contents($tmp_file) . PHP_EOL . PHP_EOL;
echo "fgetcsv escaped bs:" . PHP_EOL;
$f = fopen($tmp_file, 'r');
while($r = fgetcsv($f, 1024, ';', '"', "\\"))
{
print_r($r);
}
fclose($f);
echo PHP_EOL;
echo "fgetcsv escaped #:" . PHP_EOL;
$f = fopen($tmp_file, 'r');
while($r = fgetcsv($f, 1024, ';', '"', "#"))
{
print_r($r);
}
fclose($f);
echo PHP_EOL;
?>
