note 91195 deleted from function.fputcsv by danbrown

Note Submitter: soapergem at gmail dot com ---- In response to Sam's comment on tab delimiting: I'm sorry but you're mistaken. My own tests just revealed that your second example works just fine. My best guess is that whatever text editor you're using automatically replaces each horizontal tab with four spaces. You have to ensure that it's really a tab character. And the reason your first example didn't work is because you were using single quotes instead of double. '\t' is interpreted literally as "backslash, lowercase-t,"--not as the tab character. Remember that most of the escape sequences are only meant for double quotes (as documented clearly in the manual entry on "strings"). So the following *three* examples all work just fine: <?php fputcsv($fp, $foo, "\t"); fputcsv($fp, $foo, ' '); fputcsv($fp, $foo, chr(9); ?> Please note that the comment system here will probably replace the tab character in my second example with four spaces, so un-replace it accordingly if you're going to copy/paste this. And FYI: I tested this all on PHP 5.2.6.
