Wrap CSV values generated by PHP fputcsv() with " "

I worked around this by inserting some bogus string characters, with a space, #@ @#, and then removing them. Here's a sample implementation:

//$exported is our array of data to export
$filename = 'myfile.csv';
$fp = fopen($filename, 'w');
foreach ($exported as $line => $row) {
    if ($line > 0) {
        foreach ($row as $key => $value) {
                $row[$key] = $value."#@ @#";
        }
    }
    fputcsv($fp, $row);
}

fclose($fp);
$contents = file_get_contents($filename);
$contents = str_replace("#@ @#", "", $contents);
file_put_contents($filename, $contents);

This encloses all fields in double quotes, including empty ones

I think solution will be like this,

$order_header_arr = array("Item1", "Item2","This is Item3");
fputcsv($fp, $order_header_arr,',',' ');

remember " "[Space] Between third parameter of fputcsv

Any reason you can't str_replace(',,',',"",',$output); ? You'd also have to see if the last or first character is a comma and if so, replace the comma with ,""

fputcsv will not enclose all array variables in quotes. Having a numeric array value without quotes may be correct but presents a problem when a label or address program encounters a numeric defined US zip code because it will strip the leading zeros when printing. Thus 05123-0019 becomes 5123-19.

To enclose all values, whether they exist or not, in quotes I read the input file with fgetsrc and write a corrected version using fwrite. fgetsrc reads the record into array variables. Since fwrite writes a variable, you must string the array variables, enclose them in quotes and separate the array variable with a comma. Then add the record separator.

<?php
// fgetcsv - read array with fgetcsv and string into output variable 
// then write with fwrite
// $ar is the array populated from fgetcsv and $arc is the variable strung 
// with array variables enclosed in quotes and written using fwrite.
$file_in = fopen("reinOCp.csv","r") or die("Unable to open input file 
reinOCp.csv!"); 
$file_out = fopen("printLABEL.csv", "w") or die("Unable to open output file 
prtLABEL!");
while (!feof($file_in)) {  //loop through each record of the input file
    $ar=fgetcsv($file_in); //read the record into array $ar   
    if (is_array($ar)){ //this loop will string all the array values plus 
// the end of record into variable $arc and then write the variable 
        $arc = ""; //clear variable $arc  
        foreach ($ar as $value) {      
            $arc .= '"' . $value . '",'; // add the array values, enclose in 
// quotes with comma separator and store in variable $arc
        }   
        $arc .= "\n"; //add end of record to variable $arc
        fwrite($file_out, $arc) or die ("ERROR: Cannot write the file"); 
//write the record using variable $arc
    }
}
echo "end of job";
fclose($file_in);
fclose($file_out);
?>
