parsing csv file

Jan 7th, 2005

I am trying to Upload a csv file then split it up into an an array and build a query to insert it into a mysql table I have succeeded in getting this to work with one exception when I come across a field seperated by commas and enclosed by double quotes if that field also contains double quotes inside of it it throws off my column count I need to be able to consider something like - ,"sometext"some more text"additional text", as one field or value here is what i have so far

$handle = fopen($uploadFile, "r"); 

while ( ($data = fgetcsv($handle, 10000, ",")) != FALSE ) { 
$num = count($data); 
if($row == 1){
$fields = " `id` , ";
for($i=0; $i<$num; $i++){
$fields .= "`" . addslashes(trim($data[$i])) . "` , ";
}
$fields .= "`group` , `user` , "; 
$f = substr($fields, 0, -1);
$f = substr($f, 0, -1);
$row++;

$values = " '' , "; 
for($i=0; $i<$num; $i++){ 
$values .= "'" . addslashes(trim($data[$i])) . "' , ";
