I am trying to search through a csv file. when I match a string I want
to replace it using the fputcsv function. However, I always notice
there is an extra line inserted. I am using fseek to move file
pointer.
- does fputcsv replace or insert data into csv file?
Code below and example of problem also.
while( ($data = fgetcsv($fid, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE) {
if (strcmp ($data[0], $compare) == 0){
fseek ($fid,$offset_counter);
fputcsv($fid, $data1);
$offset_counter = ftell ($fid);
}

My starting file
11,11,11,11
22,22,22,22
33,33,33,33

The output I expect
11,11,11,11
33,22,22,22
33,33,33,33

The output I am getting
11,11,11,11
33,22,22,22

33,33,33,33
