variable subs

[[deleted]]

I\'m having some problems:

This code works:
$fp = fopen ($file,\"r\");
while ($data = fgetcsv ($fp, 1000, \"\t\")) {
..........
}

but I want to be able so switch the delimiters on the fly like this:

$delimit=\'\t\';
$fp = fopen ($file,\"r\");
while ($data = fgetcsv ($fp, 1000, \"$delimit\")) {
..........
}

I\'ve tried single quotes, double quotes. I\'ve tried $delimit=\"//t\" and everything I can think of.
It only works when I put the \"\t\" in the actual while loop. When I use a comma delimiter; $delimit=\',\' ... the code works but not with the tab delimiter. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
Mark

By the way.. My code doesn't look like the one above. For some reason, PHPbuilder is including the escape characters in the message. The must have forgotten to use stripSlashes before outputting the message.
