note 91473 added to function.fputcsv

TAB delimiting. Using fputcsv to output a CSV with a tab delimiter is a little tricky since the delimiter field only takes one character. The answer is to use the chr() function. The ascii code for tab is 9, so chr(9) returns a tab character. <?php fputcsv($fp, $foo, '\t'); //won't work fputcsv($fp, $foo, ' '); //won't work fputcsv($fp, $foo, chr(9)); //works ?> ================== it should be: <?php fputcsv($fp, $foo, "\t"); ?> you just forgot that single quotes are literal...meaning whatever you put there that's what will come out so '\t' would be same as 't' because \ in that case would be only used for escaping but if you use double quotes then that would work. ---- Server IP: 208.69.120.35 Probable Submitter: 68.161.247.230 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fputcsv.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/91473 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91473/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91473/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91473/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91473/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91473/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91473/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91473 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/91473 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
