PHP to CSV- FPut running BACKWARDS?

[scott.stephan]

Basically, I need a lead row on my .csv file. I created the string, I created the putfile. Everything runs perfectly. EXCEPT, no matter how I do, the lead row is ALWAYS the last row in the file. Does fputcsv run BACKWARDS? Here's the code:

 

	$leadrow="ORDER,DATE,TYPE,PRIORITY,PO,EMAIL,SHIPVIA,SHIPAFTER,CUSTOMERID,BILLTONAME,BILLTOSTREET,BILLTOSTREET2,BILLTOCITY,BILLTOSTATE,BILLTOZIP,BILLTOCOUNTRY,BILLTOCONTACT,SHIPTONAME,SHIPTOSTREET,SHIPTOSTREET2,SHIPTOCITY,SHIPTOSTATE,WHIPTOZIP,SHIPTOCOUNTRY,SHIPTOCONTACT,SHIPTOPHONE,SKU,DESC,QTYORDERED,QTYSHIPPED,QTYBACKORDERED,3RDPARTYSHIP,3RDPARTACCT,NOTES";
	$list[0]=$leadrow;

  
$fp = fopen('TodfdsdfdfCO3.csv', 'w');

foreach ($list as $line) {
	fputcsv($fp, split(',', $line));
}

fclose($fp);

 

And the output is the contents of $list followed by the lead row in dead last place, even though it should be in position 0. Thoughts?

I assume $list is a built up array then just before you output your adding $list[0]=$leadrow;

have you tried adding $list[0]=$leadrow; before building the array ?

Awesome. That did it! What's the reason here?

[PFMaBiSmAd]

The array elements are added in the order that the code adds them and that is the order that the foreach() loop operates on them. There is nothing magic about an array index [0] unless you sort the array or iterate over the array using ordered numeric index values.

Yep what PFMaBiSmAd said, a trick i have used in before is to set $list[0]=""; at the start then when i get the details i set it again $list[0]=$leadrow, the first one makes sure its in the correct place, of course you could sort it
