fputcsv — Format line as CSV and write to file pointer
Description
fputcsv() formats a line (passed as a fields array) as CSV and write it (terminated by a newline) to the specified file handle.
Parameters
- handle
-
The file pointer must be valid, and must point to a file successfully opened by fopen() or fsockopen() (and not yet closed by fclose()).
- fields
-
An array of values.
- delimiter
-
The optional delimiter parameter sets the field delimiter (one character only).
- enclosure
-
The optional enclosure parameter sets the field enclosure (one character only).
Return Values

Examples
Example #1 fputcsv() example
<?php
$list = array (
array('aaa', 'bbb', 'ccc', 'dddd'),
array('123', '456', '789'),
array('"aaa"', '"bbb"')
);
$fp = fopen('file.csv', 'w');
foreach ($list as $fields) {
fputcsv($fp, $fields);
}
fclose($fp);
?>
The above example will write the following to file.csv:
aaa,bbb,ccc,dddd 123,456,789 """aaa""","""bbb"""
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.
