This tests doesn't work as you expect.  Actually, it will be true for
$new_entry === NULL and all other values that convert to boolean false.

I suggest to read the "Comparison Operators" section in the PHP manual
(<http://php.net/manual/en/language.operators.comparison.php>) and also
the section on "Type Juggling"
(<http://php.net/manual/en/language.types.type-juggling.php>).

Generally, I suggest to use a while loop as shown in the example #1 in
the PHP manual:
<http://php.net/manual/en/function.fgetcsv.php#refsect1-function.fgetcsv-examples>.
