EXAMPLES

       Example #1

	      fputcsv(3) example

	      <?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);
	      ?>

	      The above example will write the following to file.csv:

	      aaa,bbb,ccc,dddd
	      123,456,789
	      """aaa""","""bbb"""

NOTES

       Note

	      If PHP is not properly recognizing the line endings when reading files either on or created by a Macintosh  computer,  enabling  the
	      auto_detect_line_endings run-time configuration option may help resolve the problem.
