Convert a 2D Associative Array To CSV using PHP
Here is a bit of code to convert an array of associative arrays into a CSV file. The first line will be a header line of the key values:
function to_csv( $array ) { $csv; ## Grab the first element to build the header $arr = array_pop( $array ); $temp = array(); foreach( $arr as $key => $data ) { $temp[] = $key; } $csv = implode( ',', $temp ) . "n"; ## Add the data from the first element $csv .= to_csv_line( $arr ); ## Add the data for the rest foreach( $array as $arr ) { $csv .= to_csv_line( $arr ); } return $csv; } function to_csv_line( $array ) { $temp = array(); foreach( $array as $elt ) { $temp[] = '"' . addslashes( $elt ) . '"'; } $string = implode( ',', $temp ) . "n"; return $string; }
