Informations about the package php-csv-writer
PHP CSV Writer
Basic CsvWriter based on a buffered TextWriter (also provided).
Supports buffering in memory and proper handling of EOL setting which is not available easily with native fputcsv function.
Main purpose of this library is to provide an object-oriented way of buffered CSV files writing.
Installation
The best way to install the library in your project is by using Composer:
of course you can still manually include all the required files in your project using using statements yet Composer and autoloading is more than suggested.
Usage
Create an instance:
Now you need to open or create a file, to do so you have two methods available: open and openWithFieldsNames To create a new file with without adding headers in the first line use:
To open a new file with fields' names added in the first line pass an array as the second argument:
When writing a new line (adding data) to a CSV file opened with fields names then columns count number is verified on each attempt.
It is possible to appened into existing files by passing __TextWriter::FILEMODE_APPEND__ as the last argument.
or:
Warning: in append mode lines are NOT added as the first line of the CSV file, they are used only for verification of columns count during write operations.
Buffering
By default CsvWriter has buffering disabled, you can enable it by providing buffer size (in bytes) using method setBufferSize. Be sure to understand that data is actually saved in the file only when buffer is filled so be sure to close the file using close method or use flush whenever you want to intentionally flush the buffer into the file without closing it.
EOL support
By default PHP's internal fputcsv function uses default EOL symbol for the current platform. idct/php-csv-writer supports setting different EOL symbols:
pass CsvWriter::EOL_WINDOWS, CsvWriter::EOL_LINUX or CsvWriter::EOL_MACLEGACY (Mac today uses LINUX EOL, this is just for legacy support) to setEolSymbol method.
Warning: the EOL symbol will be used only for NEXT lines, previous ones (already existing in the file or buffer) will remain intact.
TextWriter
CsvWriter is based on TextWriter which can be used for buffered text write operations. Apart from the methods described above it provides also different behavior for write and writeln operations which store the text or write it followed by the defined EOL symbol respectively.
To use it just create an instance:
