php custom headers/column heads in csv export












1














I cannot get custom column heads to show in my csv file. When I use the code below, the column headers appear above every row of data:



header("Content-Type: text/csv");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$q1b.csv");

$output = fopen("php://output", "w");
fputcsv($output, array("Date","First","Last","ID"));

foreach($data as $rowList) {
fputcsv($output, $rowList);
}

fclose($output);


The csv file looks like below, with the data above the column heads:




"10/11/2018" "Test" "Person" "id info"

"Date" "First" "Last" "ID"




EDIT:::



The following code is $data:



$data =  """.$date_formatted."","".$FIRST_NAME."","".$LAST_NAME."","".$Identify_Prospect_UPD.""n";
echo $data;


It looks like I have the csv tied to the $data echo, which I don't think I want. Weird!

    Not sure I know enough to help, but what is $data? I think it would need to be a multidimensional array in this case.

  • I edited your question to remove the first code block because it appeared to be duplicate, except for one difference which was a syntax error. I defined some $data locally and ran this code and I couldn't replicate the issue. Can you confirm that the code above matches the code you are running?

  • My fault for the delay! That is the code I am running and for some reason the column headers appear below each row of data. I'll keep looking. There has to be a mistake in my php
