CSV Database Step By Step Tutorial - Part 1: Comma-Separated Value (CSV)is a popular format for transferring data between two different systems. That is why, we can use CSV as alternative data storage. We can use CSV as format when users want to download data from our web.

Fortunately, PHP provides a pair of functions that make handling CSV files easy: fgetcsv() and fputcsv(). But, it just works at PHP 5. It is really simple. Look following code:

<?
$line1 = array('1','Keyboard');
$line2 = array('2','Monitor');

$csv = fopen('test.csv', 'w');

fputcsv($csv, $line1);
fputcsv($csv, $line2);

fclose($csv);

?>
