Tip

If your CSV document was created or is read on a Legacy Macintosh computer, add the following lines before using the library to help PHP detect line ending.

if (!ini_get('auto_detect_line_endings')) {
    ini_set('auto_detect_line_endings', '1');
}

Warning

The ini setting is deprecated since PHP version 8.1 and will be removed in PHP 9.0
