pset8 import: Problems with the delimiter in fgetcsv

Question

*EDIT

I seem to be having some trouble with the fgetcsv function. In my code I am trying to create a single row array with each tab separated value as a separate element in the array. Instead of returning just the first value, $data[0] is returning the entire line. The problem seems to be that I don't have the right delimiter in fgetcsv, "/t" is not working. Any ideas how to fix this?

Here is my code,

#!/usr/bin/env php

<?php

require ("../includes/functions.php");

//argument argv[1] == the relative path 

 if (!file_exists($argv[1]))
 {
     print("The file you chose does not exist.");
 } 

 if(!is_readable($argv[1]))
 {

    print("The file you chose is not readable");
 }
 else
 {
     $handle=fopen($argv[1], "r");   

     $data = fgetcsv($handle, "\t");

     print($data[0]); 

}

fgetcsv reads in the whole line by design: http://php.net/manual/en/function.fgetcsv.php

this is probably what you had in mind: http://php.net/explode
