CSV Library

Simple Example

The CSV library is built to take in rows of data as either associative arrays or as objects and either save the data as a file or return it as a string. Each row of data is added one at a time, but you can provide any combination of associaitve arrays and objects and they can have differing keys and property names:

$csv = ee('CSV');
$csv->addRow(array(
  'email' => 'team at example dot com',
  'title' => 'Example Team'
))->addRow(array(
  'email' => 'hello at example dot com',
  'name' => 'Hello to Example'
));
echo (string) $csv;

Would result in:

"email", "title", "name"
"team at example dot com", "Example Team", ""
"hello at example dot com", "", "Hello to Example"

Alternatively you could save the resulting data to a file:

$csv->save('/path/to/file.csv');
