         Must be greater than the longest line (in characters) to be found in the CSV file
         (allowing for trailing line-end characters). It became optional in PHP 5. Omitting
         this parameter (or setting it to 0 in PHP 5.0.4 and later) the maximum line length
         is not limited, which is slightly slower.

       <term><parameter>delimiter</parameter> (Optional)</term>
       <listitem>

         Set the field delimiter (one character only). Defaults as a comma.

    <simpara>
     Similar to <function>fgets</function> except that
     <function>fgetcsv</function> parses the line it reads for fields
     in <acronym>CSV</acronym> format and returns an array containing
     the fields read.

    <simpara>
     <function>fgetcsv</function> returns &false; on error, including
     end of file.
    </simpara>
    <note>
     <simpara>
      A blank line in a CSV file will be returned as an array
      comprising a single <type>null</type> field, and will not be treated 
      as an error.
