Generate tab separted txt file.

[suresh64633]

I want to generate Tab separated (tab delimited) txt file through PHP.

what does your code look like so far?

 

you will want to do something like this:

<?php
  $fh = fopen('file.txt','w+');
  while(...code for loop here...){
    $row = array(); //Build an array of data
    fwrite($fh,implode("\t",$row).PHP_EOL);
  }
  fclose($fh);
?>

Hi

 

Also consider the fputcsv function with a parameter for the delimiter.

Basically you put your fields into an array and then output the array as one line using the function.

 

All the best

Thanks for valuable comments. Txt files is created now i want it to be download through header() function. I try below code but it does not work.

		header("Location:".$fileName);
		header("Cache-Control: cache, must-revalidate");   
		header("Pragma: public");
		header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".$fileName);
