Convert a PHP 2d-Array to CSV
Convert a 2-dimensional PHP array into a CSV string. This makes the php array into a convenient format for saving as a string.
$csv = "";
for ($i=0; $i<count($array); $i++) {
$csv .= implode(",", $array[$i]) . PHP_EOL;
}
Example:
Given the PHP 2d array:
$array = array ( array (Classic Collections,Abilene, TX 79602,2.71828,red), array (Fabulous Finds,Abilene, TX 79601,3.14159,blue), array (Honeycomb Tree,Abilene, TX 7960,1.41421,green) );
This PHP converts it to a CSV string:
$csv = "";
for ($i=0; $i<count($array); $i++) {
$csv .= implode(",", $array[$i]) . PHP_EOL;
}
$csv contains the following text with return characters at the end of each line:
Classic Collections,Abilene, TX 79602",2.71828,red
Fabulous Finds,Abilene, TX 79601",3.14159,blue
Honeycomb Tree,Abilene, TX 79601",1.41421,green
