Just my opinion, but you really need to be able to control the input to the database file. If someone else is controlling how & what can be written to a file and yet YOU are responsible to parse it, that just plain sucks. Sorta makes me wonder what else can be written to the file and what the permissions might be set at. No help here other than my last post on the csv file thread.
