PHP fgetcsv() where source file doesn't have an enclosure character?

Question

I have an input CSV where the "columns" aren't enclosed in anything.

File contents ($input = fopen(filename);):

    1,2,3,4,5,6,7
    a,b,c,d,e,f,g
    9,8,7,6,5,4,3
    z,y,x,w,v,u,t

I'm having problems getting fgetcsv() to work because there isn't an enclosure around the values.

    while($row = fgetcsv($input)) {
      print_r($row);
    }

Results in:

1111

I've tried some basic things that I could think of off the top of my head:

fgetcsc($file, 0, ',', '\');

fgetcsc($file, 0, ',', '');

Any ideas for a work around? Manually editing my input file isn't really an option as it's several millions of lines.

It's not clear what your problem is. fgetcsv and str_getcsv also work with columns sans quotes:

print_r(str_getcsv('1,2,3,4,5,6,7'));

Returns:

Array
(
    [0] => 1
    [1] => 2
    [2] => 3
    [3] => 4
    [4] => 5
    [5] => 6
    [6] => 7
)

The quotes are optional and only intended for CSV which can have the column delimiter within the values:

 column1, "Column 2 with , comma inside", colum3
