I have a CSV that I download from a source that I do not control, and the end of each line is
^M
when printing to bash terminal. How can I programmatically handle this input in PHP?
What you see is a Windows control character. To get rid of this in PHP, you need to make $file = str_ireplace("\x0D", "", $file) it work, be it hexadecimal lowercase or uppercase.
$file = str_ireplace("\x0D", "", $file)
^M is a carriage return, you can delete it with:
$string = str_replace( "\r", "", $string);
PHP , CSV , .
ini_set('auto_detect_line_endings', true);
