Importing CSV that has line breaks within the actual fields

Question

I am using PHP to import a CSV file, which originates from an excel spreadsheet. Some of the fields contain line breaks in them, so when I reopen the csv in excel / open office

Answer 1

My solution is the following:

nl2br(string);

Once you get to the individual cell (string) level, run it on the string and it will convert the linebreaks to html breaks for you.
