I have to write multiple records in csv file. I'm using fputcsv function of php which take array as one row and write it in the file. In this way there will be multiple write operations for each row. I'm looking for a method with which I can write multiple rows in one write operation to csv file. Please help. Here's an example using the memory stream. It should give you a structure that you can customize to work through the buffer in pieces and reset progress if the buffer gets too big. <?php // Sample data $arrData = array( array("Fruit","Color","Calories"), array("Apple","Red",95), array(

I wrote a code where I retrieve data from DB and populate them in CSV using the function 'fputcsv' I put on top the following: $file = fopen("internal/customer_info.csv","w"); Then I retrieve the data and put them in variables, run the function: $customerInfo = $first_name.";".$last_name.";".$address1.";".$address2.";".$postcode.";".$city.";".$country.";".$email; fputcsv($file,explode(';',$customerInfo)); And finally, I closed the file. My question is: How can I put a semicolon separator? As you can see I have semicolon there but the CSV output does not. It shows a comma instead. Why's that?

I'm exporting data to a .csv file and it's working perfectly but I have one small issue. I fetch name and gender from a table but for gender I save id in my database (i.e., 1 = Male , 2 = Female ). My below code gives me id for gender, how can I fix it? Return 1 for Male and 2 for Female: $rows = mysql_query("SELECT `name`, `gender` FROM TABLE"); while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($rows)) { fputcsv($output, $row); } Try this : $rows = mysql_query("SELECT `name`, `gender` FROM TABLE"); while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($rows)) { if($row['gender'] == 1) { $row['gender'] = 'Male'; } else { $row[

What kind of errors faced by what kind of library functions affect the errno and set it to non-zero value? In my following program, I intended to use if(errno!=0) as a condition to check if the library functions I used functioned properly or not, and this is what I found (see the code below): First I used if(errno!=0) to test if a file has been opened successfully with fopen() or not. If I try to open a non-existent file, then errno is set to non-zero (2 in my case) and it is verified by printing out the value of errno at each stage. But if I open an existing file, then the value of errno

I'm trying to get a multidimensional array into a csv file. data in the array is as such: Array ( [0] => Array ( [product_id] => 1111 [name] => Alcatel One Touch Idol 2 [keyword] => alcatel-one-touch-idol-2 [options] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [price] => 54.0000 ) [1] => Array ( [price] => 42.0000 ) [2] => Array ( [price] => 10.0000 ) [3] => Array ( [price] => ) [4] => Array ( [price] => ) [5] => Array ( [price] => ) [6] => Array ( [price] => ) [7] => Array ( [price] => ) [8] => Array ( [price] => ) [9] => Array ( [price] => ) ) ) [1] => Array (...... etc) I get all of the top level data, but

I have a simple CSV file being generated that includes foreign characters. I've noted that if I don't include a Byte Order Mark that the foreign characters aren't appearing properly in Excel (but they appear fine when a BOM is present). How can I add a BOM to the beginning of the file when it's first created? I've tried the following and it's not working :-/ function processForm($competition, $competitionEntry) { $BOM = "\xEF\xBB\xBF"; // UTF-8 BOM $filename = $competition->ID.".csv"; $file = "entries/".$filename; $fields = array_keys($competitionEntry); $submittedForm = $competitionEntry; if
