What potential issues can arise when trying to skip multiple lines in a CSV file using PHP?

When trying to skip multiple lines in a CSV file using PHP, potential issues can arise if the file contains different line endings or encoding formats. To solve this, you can read the file line by line and skip the desired number of lines using a loop. 

$filename = 'example.csv';
$linesToSkip = 3;

if (($handle = fopen($filename, 'r')) !== false) {
    for ($i = 0; $i < $linesToSkip; $i++) {
        fgetcsv($handle); // Skip a line
    }

    while (($data = fgetcsv($handle)) !== false) {
        // Process each line after skipping the desired number of lines
        print_r($data);
    }

    fclose($handle);
}
