Take a look at fopen() and fwrite().

If csv = comma separated variable, then I suppose you're meant to concatenate all form data with commas between variables and then you're supposed to ... maybe Thorpe's got it ... who knows.

Writing an example right now.. will edit post with results

 

Normally I would build form results in to an object and do this a bit different, but a simple way of doing it is as follows:

 

<?php
/**
* @author: nick stinemates
*/

function array_to_csv($array) {
/**
 * in array,
 * out csv list
 * 
 * i.e $x = array_to_csv(array("apple", "orange"));
 */

$ret = "";

foreach ($array as $val) {
	$ret .= $val . ",";	
}	
return $ret;
}

$date = $_POST['date'];
$name = $_POST['name'];

.
.
.
.

$arr = array($date, $name, $nVal);

$fh = fopen("some.file", "w+");
fwrite($fh,array_to_csv($arr));

?>

Hi,

 

Thanks!

 

how will it be if each field item should be separated in column not commas?

I don't understand your question.

hi,

 

what i mean is each values taken from the form must be separated in columns.

 

let say i have column

 

brand, product  model, product type, serial no, warranty period....... so on.

 

if the form is submitted, how can i save it on the csv that

the value for brand name, product model, product type,....... will be inserted

in there respective columns?

 

 

hope you could help me with this.

 

thanks!
