I am getting all the values from the database as an array. As its a huge database I am just showing two rows for reference.
So the array goes like this by doing print_r($data);
array( [0] => Array ( [listing_id] => 5975 [category_id] => A la Carte|Bar|Banquet|Champagne Bar|Cajun Creole|German [listing_name] => test-chris [image_name] => SBCTR Logo.jpg [address] => 1 surfe parade [phone] => 0402331482 ) [1] => Array ( [listing_id] => 5974 [category_id] => [listing_name] => Charlie Lovett [image_name] => SBCTR Logo.jpg [address] => [phone] => ) [2] => Array ( [listing_id] => 5973 [category_id] => Banquet|Champagne Bar [listing_name] => Charlie Lovett [image_name] => SBCTR_1234 Logo.jpg [address] => [phone] => 1231234567 ) ) Now I want to export is as csv. So I made my php code like this
function export_to_csv($data, $filename="data.csv", $delim = ',', $newline = "\n", $enclosure = '' ) { $string_to_export = ''; $c = 0; foreach( $data as $row) { $string_to_export .= $enclosure.implode($enclosure.$delim.$enclosure, ( $c ? array_values($row) : array_keys($row)) ).$enclosure.$newline; $c++; } header('Content-type: text/csv;charset=utf-8'); header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='.$filename); header("Cache-Control: no-cache"); //echo "\xEF\xBB\xBF"; echo $string_to_export; exit(); } export_to_csv($data, "data.csv"); Now when I opened the csv I saw that if in a row there is no data for a column then the next column just doing shift to one step back. Like this
listing_id category_id listing_name image_name address phone 5975 A la Carte|Bar.... test-chris SBCTR Logo.jpg 1 surfe parade 1482 5974 Charlie Lovett SBCTR Logo.jpg 5973 Banquet|Champagne Bar Charlie Lovett SBCTR_1234 Logo.jpg 1231234567 As you can see the data is shifting to the previus column in 2nd and 3rd row. So can someone tell me how to solve this. Sorry but I can't change the database. Any help and suggestions wil be really appreciable. Thanks
