I have an application i am writing that is trying to create a CSV file for a client.
My problem is that I cannot figured out how to make each entry on it's own line (new line). I have tried "\n" and "\n\r", but it is not working well at all.
All I get is a string with one conituous line. I need it to have one record per line.
Can anyone help me here?
Here is my code -
<?php
INCLUDE("dbcon.php");
$DBO = new DbConnect("spn");
//get all submissions
$demoSQL = "
SELECT
abstract_demographics.first_name,
abstract_demographics.last_name,
abstract_status.status,
abstract_demographics.id,
abstract_submissions.submission_type AS sType,
abstract_submissions.id AS subid,
abstract_submissions.unique_identifier,
abstract_submissions.submit_date,
abstract_submissions.title
FROM
abstract_submissions
LEFT JOIN
abstract_status
ON
( abstract_submissions.status = abstract_status.id ),
abstract_demographics
WHERE
abstract_submissions.demo_id = abstract_demographics.id
ORDER BY sType
";
$demoResults = mysql_query($demoSQL);
$handle = fopen("abstract_submissions.csv","w+");
IF(is_writeable("abstract_submissions.csv"))
{
$str = "ID,STATUS,SUBID,DEMO_ID,TYPE,DATE,TITLE,LAST_NAME,FIRST_NAME";
WHILE($obj = mysql_fetch_object($demoResults))
{
$str .= $obj->unique_identifier.','.$obj->status.','.$obj->subid.','.$obj->id.','.$obj->sType.','.$obj->submit_date.','.$obj->title.','.$obj->last_name.','.$obj->first_name.'\n\r';
}//end while
//Write the line string to file
IF(fwrite($handle,$str))
{
PRINT("<h2>FILE WRITE COMPLETE!</h2>");
}
ELSE
{
PRINT("<h2>FILE WRITE FAILED</h2>");
}
}//end if
ELSE
{
PRINT("<h2>FILE IS NOT WRITEABLE!</h2>");
}//end else
?>
Any and ALL help would be greatly appreciated - Thanks!
