Not in PHP that I know of. Typically, an entire file will either be tab or
comma seperated, not a particular record, and a parser is written to handle a
particular case. Then, when processing a given file the fact if it's using
tabs, commas or even fixed-width is specified, since trying to guess from the
file's contents could lead to unexpected results.
