Re: fputcsv() (was: best way to read a file)

Didn't test. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fgetcsv.php *blair at squiz* 14-Aug-2001 07:19 Here is a function that takes an array and adds a CSV line to the passed file pointer. #------------------------------------- function fputcsv ($fp, $array, $deliminator=",") { $line = ""; foreach($array as $val) { # remove any windows new lines, # as they interfere with the parsing at the other end $val = str_replace("\r\n", "\n", $val); # if a deliminator char, a double quote char or a newline # are in the field, add quotes if(ereg("[$deliminator\"\n\r]", $val)) {

     $val = '"'.str_replace('"', '""',

$val).'"'; }#end if $line .= $val.$deliminator; }#end foreach # strip the last deliminator $line = substr($line, 0, (strlen($deliminator) * -1)); # add the newline $line .= "\n"; # we don't care if the file pointer is invalid, # let fputs take care of it return fputs($fp, $line); }#end fputcsv() #-------------------------------------
