Are there any PHP code libraries with function(s) to read and parse information from CSV files?

Question

I am looking for some routines that will read and parse CSV files. I have written some code to do this, but the data files I download are not always evenly formatted for data extraction. I generally have to clean up the file manually before I can run my parser.

Wow. Well, I am embarrassed. Who'da thunk that it was built into PHP? (not me, apparently). Thanks much for this John. – user351329 May 27 '10 at 00:11
@Sorcerer86pt `fgetcsv()` is much older and `fputcsv()` is at least from 5.1. But PHP5.3 should be used nowadays anyway ;) – KingCrunch Dec 23 '12 at 22:49
