$_POST and CSV file

michelangeloOo

The background:

One CSV file (data) with first line as header
One form passed to a form handler
The form is randomized but each element of the form needs to go into their proper columns.

$handle = fopen ("data/data.csv",'r'); 
$data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ","); 
fclose($handle); 

// write data in a csv file
$fp = fopen("data/data.csv", 'a+');
fwrite ($fp, " 
$code,$now,$ipadress,$chronos,");

$param = count($_POST);
foreach ($_POST as $data => $v)
 {
//   $k = addslashes(trim($v));
   fwrite ($fp, "$v,");
  ;
 }
 fclose($fp);

First I open the CSV file and get the first row and dump it into $data. My understanding was that the array is created automatically (and I made a test that $data[0] $data[1] ..etc were echoing what they were suppose to.).
Second I try to assign the $_POST the value that $data as a key is supposed to have ..
Well anyway .. nothing works like it supposed to 🙁
I just started in PHP .. thanks for your help !

Your code is confusing as you use a variable twice: $data. You first assign the CSV to it but t hen use it again in the foreach statement. I am not quite sure what your are trying to do but $data is over written by the key of each $_post within the loop. This may be where your logic is failing.

I upload the name of the columns of my csv file into $data
AND I want to have $_POST to dump its info right into $data , where each name on the column is the name of the element of the form.
Consider the following:

<?php
setcookie ("start", time());
$array = array("block1.html","block2.html","block3.html");
shuffle($array);

include ("formopen.html");// contains Html Header and Form Tags
include("$array[0]");
include("$array[1]");
include("$array[2]");
include ("formclose.html"); // contains html end tags + submit button


?>

The form is split in 3 blocks. The order is random. How do I save the info from $_POST into a csv file that has a specific header?

I have tried a lot of different things, nothing can make me put the value of $_POST into the $data counterpart...
