here is also a simple method to get read csv file.

$sfp = fopen('/path/to/source.csv','r'); 
$dfp = fopen('/path/to/destination.csv','w'); 
while ($row = fgetcsv($sfp,10000,",","")) { 
 $goodstuff = ""; 
 $goodstuff = str_replace("¦",",",$row[2]); 
 $goodstuff .= "\n"; 
 fwrite($dfp,$goodstuff); 
} 
fclose($sfp); 
fclose($dfp);
