Examples

Example #1 fputcsv() example

<?php

$list 
= array (
    
'aaa,bbb,ccc,dddd',
    
'123,456,789',
    
'"aaa","bbb"'
);

$fp fopen('file.csv''w');

foreach (
$list as $line) {
    
fputcsv($fpsplit(','$line));
}

fclose($fp);
?>

Notes

Note: If PHP is not properly recognizing the line endings when reading files either on or created by a Macintosh computer, enabling the auto_detect_line_endings run-time configuration option may help resolve the problem.
