fgetcsv reading from file problem

I am trying to read from a file using fgetcsv and having this problem. The file contains:

<msg1> //no space either side
< msg2 > //with space either side

while I can read in < msg2 >, I cannot read <msg1>

I get returned a blank string into the array.

Anyone have an idea on this????

Can we see the code you're using? Ideally just fgetcsv().

$file = fgetcsv($fp, 1000, "\n");

This seems to work fine with the other files that I am working with, just not the the files that contain <msg>!!!

I am guessing that it is taking the < as an OP and not part of the string???

Silly question, but why not use file() ? You're telling fgetcsv() to read to a carriage return which is the same new line to file().

I have 2 dir's, one with files that term with \n and the other dir with \t (down to the app's not me)

Depending on which dir is read, I will then place the \n or \t as a var into the fgetcsv(). I Hope!
