Sometimes, we want to create a CSV file for a user in PHP.
In this article, we’ll look at how to create a CSV file for a user in PHP.
How to create a CSV file for a user in PHP?
To create a CSV file for a user in PHP, we can use the fputcsv function.
For instance, we write
header("Content-Type: text/csv");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=file.csv");
function output_csv($data)
{
$output = fopen("php://output", "wb");
foreach ($data as $row) {
fputcsv($output, $row);
}
fclose($output);
}
output_csv([
["name 1", "age 1", "city 1"],
["name 2", "age 2", "city 2"],
["name 3", "age 3", "city 3"],
]);
to define the output_csvb function.
In it, we open the $output file with fopen.
Then we use a foreach loop to loop through $data.
In the loop, we call fputcsv with $output and $row to put $row in $output.
Then we call fclose to close the $output file.
We set the header to output CSV with header so CSV is returned.
