  [1]=>
  string(7) "line1f2"
  [2]=>
  string(7) "line1f3"

Description:
------------
Since PHP5, fgetcsv() omits empty fields instead returning a empty
string as did in PHP4.

Reproduce code:
---------------
csv.php
=======
<?php

$h = fopen('paragraph.csv','r');

while(false !== ($l = fgetcsv($h, 1024, '§', '\\')))
{
    var_dump($l);
}

fclose($h);

?>

paragraph.csv
=============
line1f1§line1f2§line1f3
line2f1§line2f2§line2f3
line3f1§§line3f3

Expected result:
----------------
array(3) {
  [0]=>
  string(7) "line1f1"
  [1]=>
  string(7) "line1f2"
  [2]=>
  string(7) "line1f3"
}
array(3) {
  [0]=>
  string(7) "line2f1"
  [1]=>
  string(7) "line2f2"
  [2]=>
  string(7) "line2f3"
}
array(3) {
  [0]=>
  string(7) "line3f1"
  [1]=>
  string(0) ""
  [2]=>
  string(7) "line3f3"
}

Actual result:
--------------
array(3) {
  [0]=>
  string(7) "line1f1"
  [1]=>
  string(7) "line1f2"
  [2]=>
  string(7) "line1f3"
}
array(3) {
  [0]=>
  string(7) "line2f1"
  [1]=>
  string(7) "line2f2"
  [2]=>
  string(7) "line2f3"
}
array(2) {
  [0]=>
  string(7) "line3f1"
  [1]=>
  string(7) "line3f3"
}
