Question

I am trying to create a CSV file like this:

Name    surname
disha   goyal

Code goes like this:

<?php
$fp = fopen('filse.csv', 'w');

fwrite($fp, 'Name');
fwrite($fp, "\t");
fwrite($fp, "Surname");
fwrite($fp, "\n");
fwrite($fp, 'disha');
fwrite($fp, "\t");
fwrite($fp, 'goyal');

fclose($fp);
?>`

Output is this:

Namesurname
dishagoyal

Answer 1

While opening the document in Excel, you must specify that the delimiter you use is tab.

By default, a csv file is assumed to be comma separated.

You can also use comma instead of tab for proper output without any settings.
