fputcsv — 将行格式化为 CSV 并写入文件指针
$handle
, array $fields
[, string $delimiter
= ','
[, string $enclosure
= '"'
]] ) fputcsv() 将一行(用
fields
数组传递)格式化为 CSV
格式并写入由 handle
指定的文件。
handle
文件指针必须是有效的,必须指向由 fopen() 或 fsockopen() 成功打开的文件(并还未由 fclose() 关闭)。
fields
值的一个数组。
delimiter
可选的 delimiter
参数设定字段分界符(只允许一个字符)。
enclosure
可选的 enclosure
参数设定字段字段环绕符(只允许一个字符)。
返回写入字符串的长度, 或者在失败时返回 FALSE
。
Example #1 fputcsv() 例子
<?php
$list = array (
array( 'aaa' , 'bbb' , 'ccc' , 'dddd' ),
array( '123' , '456' , '789' ),
array( '"aaa"' , '"bbb"' )
);
$fp = fopen ( 'file.csv' , 'w' );
foreach ( $list as $fields ) {
fputcsv ( $fp , $fields );
}
fclose ( $fp );
?>
以上例子会写入以下的file.csv:
aaa,bbb,ccc,dddd 123,456,789 """aaa""","""bbb"""
Note: 在读取在 Macintosh 电脑中或由其创建的文件时, 如果 PHP 不能正确的识别行结束符,启用运行时配置可选项 auto_detect_line_endings 也许可以解决此问题。

if you want make UTF-8 file for excel, use this:
$fp = fopen($filename, 'w');
//add BOM to fix UTF-8 in Excel
fputs($fp, $bom =( chr(0xEF) . chr(0xBB) . chr(0xBF) ));

I feel as though it should be more complicated than this, but...
function str_putcsv($fields, $delimiter = ',', $enclosure = '"', $escape_char = '\\' ) {
foreach ($fields as &$field) {
$field = str_replace($enclosure, $escape_char.$enclosure, $field);
$field = $enclosure . $field . $enclosure;
}
return implode($delimiter, $fields) . "\n";
}

Unlike fgetcsv, fputcsv doesn't provide an $escape parameter. This can lead to trouble if you write files using fputcsv, later to be read by fgetcsv. For example if you're using the default backslash escape character from fgetcsv and you've written it to a file using fputcsv, the file will not be correctly read by fgetcsv. Here's a wrapper for fputcsv that adds an $escape parameter.
function not_broken_fputcsv($handle, array $fields, $delimiter=',', $enclosure='"', $escape='\\')
{
foreach($fields as &$sField)
$sField = str_replace($escape, $escape . $escape, $sField);
return fputcsv($handle, $fields, $delimiter, $enclosure, $escape);
}
[#4] quickshiftin at gmail dot com [2014-11-07 21:21:57]
fputcsv doesn't have an $escape option like fgetscv. You'll have to roll your own support in userspace.
function not_broken_fputcsv($handle, array $fields, $delimiter=',', $enclosure='"', $escape='\\')
{
foreach($fields as &$sField)
$sField = str_replace($escape, $escape . $escape, $sField);
return fputcsv($handle, $fields, $delimiter, $enclosure, $escape);
}

We had a function that wrote a single line CSV. I noticed that with enabling auto_detect_line_endings, fputcsv would not write a newline at the end of the file.
Enabling auto_detect_line_endings changed the fputcsv behavior to include a newline.

So this is something I wrote to generically generate CSV exports from 2 arrays and a name.
You need to provide it with e single dimension array for the headings. A multidimensional array with the actual body . And lastly the filename you would like to get minus the .csv and viola.
<?php
# We will use this function to generate a CSV
function exportCSV($headings=false, $rows=false, $filename=false)
{
# Ensure that we have data to be able to export the CSV
if ((!empty($headings)) AND (!empty($rows)))
{
# modify the name somewhat
$name = ($filename !== false) ? $filename . ".csv" : "export.csv";
# Set the headers we need for this to work
header('Content-Type: text/csv; charset=utf-8');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=' . $name);
# Start the ouput
$output = fopen('php://output', 'w');
# Create the headers
fputcsv($output, $headings);
# Then loop through the rows
foreach($rows as $row)
{
# Add the rows to the body
fputcsv($output, $row);
}
# Exit to close the stream off
exit();
}
# Default to a failure
return false;
}
?>

When you output csv by fputcsv, if there are any Chinese character, you may get messy code. Then you need to set the encoding properly:
fprintf($fp, chr(0xEF).chr(0xBB).chr(0xBF)); // just add this line
fputcsv($fp, ...);

Inspired by boonerunner's function, I wrote a smaller, faster, and more flexible one, which also uses less memory.
I also renamed it to avoid collision or overwriting the PHP function, and gave the 3rd and 4th parameter default values like fputcsv() uses.
This function puts all text values in $enclosure's while doubling the $enclosure in the value, and leaves numeric values as they are.
But if the $delimiter exists in the numeric value, this value will also be put in $enclosure's (may happen if you use a dot as the $delimiter).
function fwritecsv($handle, $fields, $delimiter = ',', $enclosure = '"') {
# Check if $fields is an array
if (!is_array($fields)) {
return false;
}
# Walk through the data array
for ($i = 0, $n = count($fields); $i < $n; $i ++) {
# Only 'correct' non-numeric values
if (!is_numeric($fields[$i])) {
# Duplicate in-value $enclusure's and put the value in $enclosure's
$fields[$i] = $enclosure . str_replace($enclosure, $enclosure . $enclosure, $fields[$i]) . $enclosure;
}
# If $delimiter is a dot (.), also correct numeric values
if (($delimiter == '.') && (is_numeric($fields[$i]))) {
# Put the value in $enclosure's
$fields[$i] = $enclosure . $fields[$i] . $enclosure;
}
}
# Combine the data array with $delimiter and write it to the file
$line = implode($delimiter, $fields) . "\n";
fwrite($handle, $line);
# Return the length of the written data
return strlen($line);
}

There is an even easier solution to get the result of fputcsv into a variable:
<?php
$output = fopen('php://output', 'w');
ob_start();
fputcsv($output, $data);
fclose($output);
$csv = ob_get_clean();

[#11] Ovidiu Curcan [2011-07-28 03:48:07]
Unexpected (to me) behaviour: the enclosure characters inside the strings are doubled *unless* they're preceded by a backslash. If the enclosure is preceded by a backslash it's considered to be already escaped.
<?php
$data = array(
'Doubled: -> " <-',
'NOT doubled: -> \" <-',
);
$buffer = fopen('php://temp', 'r+');
fputcsv($buffer, $data);
rewind($buffer);
$csv = fgets($buffer);
fclose($buffer);
echo $csv; // "Doubled: -> "" <-","NOT doubled: -> \" <-"
?>
As a result, the CSV file generated by my application was not correctly opened by OpenOffice.org. The offending row and all the subsequent rows were missing from the spreadsheet.

These two handy functions allow you to use fgetcsv with a string instead of a file handle and fputcsv to convert an array to a string instead of writing to a file handle. Hopefully this functionality will exist natively soon. Props to prior notes on these functions that led me to these.
<?php
function array_to_CSV($data)
{
$outstream = fopen("php://temp", 'r+');
fputcsv($outstream, $data, ',', '"');
rewind($outstream);
$csv = fgets($outstream);
fclose($outstream);
return $csv;
}
function CSV_to_array($data)
{
$instream = fopen("php://temp", 'r+');
fwrite($instream, $data);
rewind($instream);
$csv = fgetcsv($instream, 9999999, ',', '"');
fclose($instream);
return($csv);
}
?>
[#14] Guile [2010-09-21 03:32:10]
Here is a way to send csv like echo does :
<?php
function outputCSV($data) {
$outstream = fopen("php://output", 'w');
function __outputCSV(&$vals, $key, $filehandler) {
fputcsv($filehandler, $vals, ';', '"');
}
array_walk($data, '__outputCSV', $outstream);
fclose($outstream);
}
$mydata = array(
array('data11', 'data12', 'data13'),
array('data21', 'data22', 'data23'),
array('data31', 'data32', 'data23'));
outputCSV($mydata);
?>
Moreover, this can be nicer with PHP5.3+ closures

In general I found myself wanting to get the result as a string rather than writing it to a file, and in particular I wanted to produce a CSV using an EOL that might not be the same as that on the server where I generated it. This is how I solved the problem without rewriting fputcsv.
<?php
function sputcsv($row, $delimiter = ',', $enclosure = '"', $eol = "\n")
{
static $fp = false;
if ($fp === false)
{
$fp = fopen('php://temp', 'r+'); // see http://php.net/manual/en/wrappers.php.php - yes there are 2 '.php's on the end.
// NB: anything you read/write to/from 'php://temp' is specific to this filehandle
}
else
{
rewind($fp);
}
if (fputcsv($fp, $row, $delimiter, $enclosure) === false)
{
return false;
}
rewind($fp);
$csv = fgets($fp);
if ($eol != PHP_EOL)
{
$csv = substr($csv, 0, (0 - strlen(PHP_EOL))) . $eol;
}
return $csv;
}
// test
$rows = array
(
array('blue, sky', 'green, lime', 'red', 'black'),
array('white', 'gold', 'purple, imperial', 'grey, slate'),
array('orange, burnt', 'pink, hot', 'violet', 'indigo'),
);
if (PHP_EOL == "\r\n")
{
$eol = "\n";
}
else
{
$eol = "\r\n";
}
foreach($rows as $row)
{
echo nl2br(sputcsv($row, ',', '"', $eol));
}
?>
The test should produce something like the following:
"blue, sky","green, lime",red,black
white,gold,"purple, imperial","grey, slate"
"orange, burnt","pink, hot",violet,indigo

To get the mssafe_csv function below to work using PHP5, I had to change line 50 from:
fputcsv($fp, $line);
to:
fputcsv($fp, split(',', $line));
Otherwise works great! Thanks for the function.

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, $foo, "\t");
?>
you just forgot that single quotes are literal...meaning whatever you put there that's what will come out so '\t' would be same as 't' because \ in that case would be only used for escaping but if you use double quotes then that would work.
[#18] soapergem at gmail dot com [2009-05-14 08:17:01]
I've created a function for quickly generating CSV files that work with Microsoft applications. In the field I learned a few things about generating CSVs that are not always obvious. First, since PHP is generally *nix-based, it makes sense that the line endings are always \n instead of \r\n. However, certain Microsoft programs (I'm looking at you, Access 97), will fail to recognize the CSV properly unless each line ends with \r\n. So this function changes the line endings accordingly. Secondly, if the first column heading / value of the CSV file begins with uppercase ID, certain Microsoft programs (ahem, Excel 2007) will interpret the file as being in the SYLK format rather than CSV, as described here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/323626
This function accommodates for that as well, by forcibly enclosing that first value in quotes (when this doesn't occur automatically). It would be fairly simple to modify this function to use another delimiter if need be and I leave that as an exercise to the reader. So quite simply, this function is used for outputting CSV data to a CSV file in a way that is safe for use with Windows applications. It takes two parameters + one optional parameter: the location of where the file should be saved, an array of data rows, and an optional array of column headings. (Technically you could omit the headings array and just include it as the first row of the data, but it is often useful to keep this data stored in different arrays in practice.)
<?php
function mssafe_csv($filepath, $data, $header = array())
{
if ( $fp = fopen($filepath, 'w') ) {
$show_header = true;
if ( empty($header) ) {

reset($data);
$line = current($data);
if ( !empty($line) ) {
reset($line);
$first = current($line);
if ( substr($first, 0, 2) == 'ID' && !preg_match('/["\\s,]/', $first) ) {
array_shift($data);
array_shift($line);
if ( empty($line) ) {
fwrite($fp, "\"{$first}\"\r\n");
} else {
fwrite($fp, "\"{$first}\",");
fputcsv($fp, $line);
fseek($fp, -1, SEEK_CUR);

Alright, after playing a while, I'm confident the following replacement function works in all cases, including the ones for which the native fputcsv function fails. If fputcsv fails to work for you (particularly with mysql csv imports), try this function as a drop-in replacement instead.
Arguments to pass in are exactly the same as for fputcsv, though I have added an additional $mysql_null boolean which allows one to turn php null's into mysql-insertable nulls (by default, this add-on is disabled, thus working identically to fputcsv [except this one works!]).
<?php
function fputcsv2 ($fh, array $fields, $delimiter = ',', $enclosure = '"', $mysql_null = false) {
$delimiter_esc = preg_quote($delimiter, '/');
$enclosure_esc = preg_quote($enclosure, '/');
$output = array();
foreach ($fields as $field) {
if ($field === null && $mysql_null) {
$output[] = 'NULL';
continue;
}
$output[] = preg_match("/(?:${delimiter_esc}|${enclosure_esc}|\s)/", $field) ? (
$enclosure . str_replace($enclosure, $enclosure . $enclosure, $field) . $enclosure
) : $field;
}
fwrite($fh, join($delimiter, $output) . "\n");
}
// the _EXACT_ LOAD DATA INFILE command to use
// (if you pass in something different for $delimiter
// and/or $enclosure above, change them here too;
// but _LEAVE ESCAPED BY EMPTY!_).

I found that the fputcsv examples for PHP 4 missed one thing, that was proper handling of the $enclosure value when it is a quote (if a quote is passed in a field, and it is delimited by a slash, it will be improperly handled by the functions submitted here).
My modified function was built using the actual PHP5 source for fputcsv, with the addition of properly reacting to the existence of a delimited quote in the field being processed.

Here is an adaptation to boonerunner's function for fputcsv.
It uses a 2-dimensional array.
Each sub-array is a line in the csv file which then ends up being seperated by commas.
<?php

// Write a line to a file
// $filePointer = the file resource to write to
// $dataArray = the data to write out
// $delimeter = the field separator
// Build the string
$string = "";
// for each array element, which represents a line in the csv file...
foreach($dataArray as $line){
// No leading delimiter
$writeDelimiter = FALSE;
foreach($line as $dataElement){
// Replaces a double quote with two double quotes
$dataElement=str_replace("\"", "\"\"", $dataElement);
// Adds a delimiter before each field (except the first)
if($writeDelimiter) $string .= $delimiter;
// Encloses each field with $enclosure and adds it to the string
$string .= $enclosure . $dataElement . $enclosure;
// Delimiters are used every time except the first.
$writeDelimiter = TRUE;
}
// Append new line
$string .= "\n";

[EDIT BY danbrown AT php DOT net: This is a revised function with a few bugfixes and improvements done by this author. The original function example was written by arthur AT mclean DOT ws, and rewritten between by arthur AT korn DOT ch.]
- when calling str_replace(), you must assign $cell the return value or nothing gets saved
- when using strchr(), you should explicitly check !== FALSE, or it'll treat a return value of 0 (found the character at string position 0) as FALSE
- Excel seems to quote not only fields containing commas, but fields containing quotes as well, so I've added another strchr() for quotes; I'm not saying Microsoft knows the correct way for sure, but it seems reasonable to me
- the original function put a space after each comma; that might be legal, I don't know, but I've never seen it (and I don't think it is, because then how would you indicate you wanted a field to start with a space other than by quoting it?)
- the original function didn't correctly return the length of the data outputted
Here's the function, fixed up a bit:
<?php
function fputcsv($handle, $row, $fd=',', $quot='"')
{
$str='';
foreach ($row as $cell) {
$cell=str_replace(Array($quot, "\n"),
Array($quot.$quot, ''),
$cell);
if (strchr($cell, $fd)!==FALSE || strchr($cell, $quot)!==FALSE) {
$str.=$quot.$cell.$quot.$fd;
} else {
$str.=$cell.$fd;
}
}
fputs($handle, substr($str, 0, -1)."\n");
return strlen($str);
}
?>
