Description:
------------
reading data with fgetcsv() an empty row wil not be returned as one array element pointing to NULL, as it is described in documentation

the result for the record will be

array(1) {
  [0]=>
  string(0) ""
}

instead of

array(1) {
  [0]=>
  NULL
}




Expected result:
----------------
array(1) {
  [0]=>
  NULL
}

Actual result:
--------------
array(1) {
  [0]=>
  string(0) ""
}

    while (false!==($_rec = fgetcsv($fh, 8192, ';','"')))

    }
   
    fclose($fh);

    var_dump($_file);
    echo "</pre>\r\n";

?> 

You will need a csv-file with some data and also an empty line in it.
