PHP options in firefox
I'm sorry I don't have an answer for you, but I thought you might like to know that I've been having the same problem running Firefox 1.0.7 on WinXP. The code does show up in the "Show Source". It doesn't seem to happen all the time, as most of my files work fine, and so I haven't done too... -
sql -> csv (with commas in data)

php checkbox array with string variable argument.

Regular expression to fix a "dirty" csv file
Hey Guys, Thanks for the replies. I haven't tried using your code yet, but am going to try that now. I figured I'd post some more data so you could see the mess I'm dealing with :) Since this text gets wrapped, I'm putting in \n's just so you know where they are in the file... -
Regular expression to fix a "dirty" csv file
Hi, I have a problem that surpasses my knowledge of regular expressions. Can somehow help me to figure out the logic to solve this problem? I am downloading a CSV file from a supplier which is "dirty", that is, it has quotes and commas within fields and has line breaks where there should be...
