EDIT: Copied wrong part of function into this question, below is the appropriate one.

$values = mysql_query('SELECT lname, fname, email, dtelephone, etelephone, contactwhen, thursday,  friday, saturday, sunday, monday, comments FROM volunteers_2009 WHERE venue_id = $venue_id');  while ($rowr = mysql_fetch_row($values)) {     for ($j=0;$j<$i;$j++) {         $csv_output .= $rowr[$j].', ';     }     $csv_output .= '\n'; }

I have comments that may have a comma in it, and even double quotes, when it has a comma in the comment field, it throws off the entire csv file.

The code below is how it loads the data into the csv string, to put into a csv file.

How do I get it to export the comments field data properly?

  1. Enclose the field in double quotes. Double up any embedded double quotes.

    ordinary field,'field with , in it','field with double double quote ('''')'

    Note that this is very, very close to the question Dealing with commas in a CSV file
