What is the recommended approach for skipping empty lines when reading a CSV file in PHP?

When reading a CSV file in PHP, you may encounter empty lines that you want to skip while processing the file. One approach to achieve this is to check if the current line is empty and skip it before processing the data. This can be done by using the `fgetcsv()` function to read each line of the CSV file and then checking if the line is empty using `empty()` function. 

$filename = 'example.csv';
if (($handle = fopen($filename, 'r')) !== false) {
    while (($data = fgetcsv($handle)) !== false) {
        if (!empty(array_filter($data))) {
            // Process the non-empty data here
            // For example, you can echo or manipulate the data
            print_r($data);
        }
    }
    fclose($handle);
}
