phpfputcsv

Alternative to fputcsv

I have an array that I want to export to a CSV file, now I know that there is a fputcsv function but I am using version 5.0.4 of PHP so this isn't an option for me.

Is there an alternative method I can use?

Solution

  • Assuming you have a $Data array, which contains individual arrays for each registry (or line), you may try this:

    $Delimiter = '"';
$Separator = ','
foreach($Data as $Line)
{   
 fwrite($File, $Delimiter.
        implode($Delimiter.$Separator.$Delimiter, $Line).$Delimiter."\n");
}

    Where $File is the handle for your file. Put in $Delimiter, the character you want to put around each field, and in $Separator, the character to use between fields.
