Hi, I couldn't reproduce this issue exactly, instead I saw that the output if "4a,4b,4c" when auto_detect_line_endings is false when the file is opened, and then turned on during the file reading.

However.....I don't think it's surprising that PHP is getting confused here. It's just not valid to change an ini setting that affects how PHP behaves in the middle of an arbitrary bit of code and expect PHP to work flawlessly. PHP seems to work correctly so long as the set how files are handled before the file is opened.

If that isn't the case, please let us know, otherwise this is just something that is not supported.





<?php

$filename = 'mac-linebreaks.csv';
$data = "label1,label2,label3\r1a,1b,1c\r2a,2b,2c\r3a,3b,3c\r4a,4b,4c\r";

file_put_contents($filename, $data);

ini_set('auto_detect_line_endings', true);
$handle = @fopen($filename, 'r');
$first = fgets($handle);

echo $first;


// Output is: label1,label2,label3
// i.e. correct when ini setting is set before file opening.



<?php

$filename = 'mac-linebreaks.csv';
$data = "label1,label2,label3\r1a,1b,1c\r2a,2b,2c\r3a,3b,3c\r4a,4b,4c\r";

file_put_contents($filename, $data);

ini_set('auto_detect_line_endings', false);
$handle = @fopen($filename, 'r');
ini_set('auto_detect_line_endings', true);
$first = fgets($handle);

echo $first;


// Output is: 4a,4b,4c
// i.e. setting the setting after the file is opened is too late.

Yes, this works fine.

Perhaps the documentation should be amended to specify that the call to ini_set() needs to come before the fopen().
