Since the function explode($delimiter,$input) is available for older versions, I propose this simpler two-functions solution:
<?php
function escape_explode($delimiter,$input,$escape='\\'){
  $result =array();
  foreach(explode(&delimiter,$input) as $item){
    if(($result == array()) or ($result[-1] == '') or !($result[-1][-1] == '\\')){
      $result .= $item;
    }else{
      $result[-1] .= $item;
    };
  };
  return($result);
};
function str_getcsv($input, $delimiter=',', $enclosure='"', $escape='\\'){
  $result = escape_explode($delimiter,$input,$escape);
  for($i=0,$item=$result[0];$i<count($result);$i++,$item=$result[$i]){
    $enclosed = escape_explode($enclosure,$item,$escape);
    if(1 < count($enclosed)){
      $result[$i] = $enclosed[($result[$i][0] == $enclosure)? 0: 1];
    }else{
      $result[$i] = $enclosed[0];
    };
  };
  return($result);
};
?>
