		if(!file_exists($filename) || !is_readable($filename))
			return FALSE;
		
		$header = NULL;
		$data = array();
		if (($handle = fopen($filename, 'r')) !== FALSE)
		{
			while (($row = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, $delimiter)) !== FALSE)
			{
				if(!$header)

I don't really understand your question, because the "data" is in the file that is specified in this $filename variable, not in the function.

And if it really is a CSV file (with comma separated values) the delimiter should be a comma ',' not a semicolon ';'

No idea what you mean,


Can I suggest that you ignore ALL your other threads on this same question and JUST STICK TO ONE of them.



You are confusing yourself and us by flitting from thread to thread with putting a bit of information in each of them.

Pick one to use, then "red flag" the rest for closing or deletion.

I see this has a valid seperate question asking "where is the actual data" thats it, which is the bit that i can foreach($somedate as whateva)
abd echo each comma seperatted bit or does more code needed adding? Im new to php, i use to use asp which i found alot easier to understand but i have to stcik to php because of my platform

Which is WHY you need ALL the pertinent information for working out how to handle extracting data from a delimited file, the actual delimiter does not matter. You are jumping about getting bits of information and are having problems putting it all together.

I don't understand what you actually mean by "Wher is the data delimited by the ; in this function please?" because there is no "data in the function". It is a function for extracting the data from a source (a delimited string) and returns that extracted data in the form of an array.
