Description:
------------
When opening an .csv-file with fgetcsv() most part of cyrillic (win-1251) characters disappears, and they are returned as an empty string in returned list. Everything's OK with latin characters.

Reproduce code:
---------------
$fp=fopen("csv.csv","r");
while ($arr=fgetcsv($fp, 1000, ";"))
 {
  *here comes a bunch of outputs*

Expected result:
----------------
Expected: all strings neatly packed in a list =)

Actual result:
--------------
Result: almost all string fields in a list are empty

Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce
this bug ourselves. 

A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>,
is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external 
resources such as databases, etc. If the script requires a 
database to demonstrate the issue, please make sure it creates 
all necessary tables, stored procedures etc.

Please avoid embedding huge scripts into the report.

Try to use setlocale
 [2008-07-17 15:37 UTC] nospam at earth dot net 
code to reproduce the bug:

<?php

// setlocale(LC_ALL, 'ru_RU.cp1251');

$row = 1;
$handle = fopen("p.csv", "r");
while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ";")) !== FALSE) {
    $num = count($data);
    echo "<p> $num fields in line $row: <br /></p>\n";
    $row++;
    for ($c=0; $c < $num; $c++) {
    echo $data[$c] . "<br />\n";
    }
}
fclose($handle);
?>

setlocale doesn't help.
p.csv can be any csv file under cyrillic win-1251

Make sure cp1251 is a supported charmap in your system. You can check it 
by feeding -a option to /usr/bin/locale .

If you put cyrillic text between double-quotes, then all be okey.
