Actually I think fgetcsv will work with any valid file pointer and at
least in PHP 5, the streams implementation will allow you to use a variety
of protocols to create the stream.
http://us2.php.net/manual/en/wrappers.php
I understand that it isn't even too teribbly difficult to implement your
own stream if one isn't already to your liking, but I'm afraid I haven't
found need to go beyond the simple read-a-file-from disk style operation.
