Hope you can help me out. Thanks in Advance!
I'm trying to figure out how parse a multidimensional array/loop statement to lay out the iterated array values into rows (which will become a full row in a CSV file) The CSV file will end up with 24 rows based on below example
result
1999,apple,red
1999,apple,green
1999,orange,red
1999,orange,green
1999,strawberrry,red
... and so on
$year = array('1999','2000','2001','2002');
$fruit = array('apple','orange','strawberry');
$color = array('red','green');
You can use a foreach()
loop and iterate over each of the 3 arrays and use fputcsv()
to save the 3 items into a CSV file.
$fp = fopen('file.csv', 'w');
$year = array('1999','2000','2001','2002');
$fruit = array('apple','orange','strawberry');
$color = array('red','green');
foreach ($year as $y) {
foreach ($fruit as $f) {
foreach($color as $c) {
echo "$y,$f,$c" . PHP_EOL; // Echo to screen. Not needed
fputcsv($fp,array($y,$f,$c)); // Save each row to CSV file
}
}
}
fclose($fp);
Resulting file.csv file will then look like so:
