Question

I have several method to transform php array to csv string both from stackoverflow and google. But I am in trouble that if I want to store mobile number such as 01727499452, it saves as without first 0 value. I am currently using this piece of code: Convert array into csv Can anyone please help me. ``` Array [1] => Array ( [0] => Lalu ' " ; \ Kumar [1] => Mondal [2] => 01934298345 [3] => ) [2] => Array ( [0] => Pritom [1] => Kumar Mondal [2] => 01727499452 [3] => Bit Mascot ) [3] => Array ( [0] => Pritom [1] => Kumar Mondal [2] => 01711511149 [3] => ) [4] => Array ( [0] => Raaz [1] => Mukherzee [2] => 01911224589 [3] => Khulna University 06 ) ``` ) My code block: ``` function arrayToCsv( array $fields, $delimiter = ';', $enclosure = '"', $encloseAll = false, $nullToMysqlNull = false ) { $delimiter_esc = preg_quote($delimiter, '/'); $enclosure_esc = preg_quote($enclosure, '/'); $outputString = ""; foreach($fields as $tempFields) { $output = array(); foreach ( $tempFields as $field ) {…

Accepted Answer

You could use `str_putcsv` function:

```
if(!function_exists('str_putcsv'))
{
    function str_putcsv($input, $delimiter = ',', $enclosure = '"')
    {
        // Open a memory "file" for read/write...
        $fp = fopen('php://temp', 'r+');
        // ... write the $input array to the "file" using fputcsv()...
        fputcsv($fp, $input, $delimiter, $enclosure);
        // ... rewind the "file" so we can read what we just wrote...
        rewind($fp);
        // ... read the entire line into a variable...
        $data = fread($fp, 1048576);
        // ... close the "file"...
        fclose($fp);
        // ... and return the $data to the caller, with the trailing newline from fgets() removed.
        return rtrim($data, "
");
    }
 }

$csvString = '';
 foreach ($list as $fields) {
     $csvString .= str_putcsv($fields);
 }
```
