csv file with delimiter other than comma in php - php

Question

I insert data into table as bulk upload,
$handle = fopen($_FILES['file_clg']['tmp_name'], "r");
fgetcsv($handle);
while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE) {
$collegename = trim(str_replace(array("’","'"),"'",$data[0]));
$description = trim(str_replace(array("’","'"),"'",$data[1]));
$sql1 = $db->selectquery("insert into $tbl(name,details)values('" .$collegename."','" .$description."')");
}
fclose($handle);
Only two fields is mentioned here: morethan 25 columns in my bulkupload csv
The problem is that the csv delimiter is the comma (',') but in some cases 'details' field contents include commas, as in this case record not inserted properly..
how to solve this case???
And a problem in insertion section,
College name : Alva’s Institute of Engineering & Technology (AIET)
and its saved in table as below format :
Alva�s Institute of Engineering & Technology (AIET)
I try below code:
$collegename = htmlentities(iconv("cp1252", "utf-8", trim(str_replace(array("’","'"),"'",$data[0]))), ENT_IGNORE, "UTF-8");
but its not working, how can i solve the issue in single quotes
And i placed : header("Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1");
into the header section..

I'd need to see some samples to say anything with confidence, but there are specs on quoting values with commas to preserve the value count.

Alternatively, you could create a new fputcsv() code block that will generate a semi-colon (or other non-conflicting character) delimited csv file. I am not providing the actual snippet for this. There are many available resources on SO, including:

Then your while loop could use ; (or whatever) as a delimiter.
As for safely placing your values (which may have single quotes) into your query, use prepared statements
// I realize your query will be much larger than the sample...
// declare $collegename and $decription values
$stmt=$db->prepare("INSERT INTO `$tbl` (`name`,`details`) VALUES (?,?)");
$stmt->bind_param("ss", $collegename,$description);
if($stmt->execute()){
echo "success";
}else{
echo "Error: ",$db->error;
}
