Description:
------------
fgetcsv is not correctly getting all of the rows for a CSV file

Test CSV file:

https://gist.github.com/shopblocks/f5aadf8c9f6cc512471393d4053c66bb

As you can see, the file is valid and imports correctly into GitHub, OS X Numbers and Excel.



Test script:
---------------
<?php
function dd()
{
    echo '<pre>';
    array_map(function ($x) {
        print_r($x);
    }, func_get_args());

    die(1);
}

$csv = fopen("test.csv", 'r');

$headers = fgetcsv($csv);
$row = fgetcsv($csv);

dd($headers, $row);

Expected result:
----------------
All 21 columns should be filled

Actual result:
--------------
only 15 columns get filled

Several Halcyon products evolved out of necessity: the  performance of available manufactured gear was not acceptable under rigorous  mission critical situations. The Scout is just such a product. 

The Scout  is machined out of a solid rod of delrin for strength and fitted with a proper  voltage bulb to reduce the risk of failure. Nearly all widely available reserve  lights overdrive the bulb to create a brighter beam. While overdriving the bulb  is effective for short term use, it increases the stress on the filament,  resulting in a greater frequency of bulb failure. 

The Scout has a  machined attachment point at the rear of the light and is free from all the  plastic clips and other assorted snags typically present on mass manufactured  lights. 
 
Specifications: 



Machined from a solid rod of delrin 

5.5 watt bulb 

Approx 3.5 hour burn time 

Uses 3 x C cell batteries (not included)

That behavior is caused by fgetcsv() catering for an escape
character (what is pretty much uncommon for CSV). The default
escape character is a backslash, so the attributes values which
contain only a backslash break the parser. You can easily work
around this issue by overriding the escape character to use a
character that isn't contained in the CSV, e.g.

  fgetcsv($csv, 0, ',', '"', '|');

I'm changing this ticket to a feature request, because it would be
useful to be able to pass an empty string as $escape, so the
behavior of fgetcsv() would be more compliant to other CSV
implementations.

Actually, there is already request #51496, so I'm closing this as
duplicate.
