Writing content stored in variable to csv file - php

Question

I have a line of data stored in $StripContent, when I echo $Stripcontent it shows
, , ,1 ,1415 ,Fietsen ,Omafietsen ,Avalon ,F 101 Oma Export 57cm Zwart , ,57 ,single speed remnaaf ,2017 ,21 ,249.00 ,135.00 ,19.50 ,8
However when I write $Stripcontent to the CSV file it only writes the first character instead of the whole line.
$Get_Content = file_get_contents($newname);
$StripContent = preg_replace("/<([a-z][a-z0-9]*)[^>]*?(\/?)>/i",',', $Get_Content);
$file = $newname;
$content = file($file);
foreach($content as $lineNumber => &$lineContent) {
if($lineNumber == 0) {
$lineContent .= $StripContent . PHP_EOL;
}
}
$allContent = implode("", $content);
file_put_contents($file, $allContent);

You can do it more direct with the $Stripcontent variable direclty, whithout the foreach part, like:
$Get_Content = file_get_contents($newname);
$StripContent = preg_replace("/<([a-z][a-z0-9]*)[^>]*?(\/?)>/i",',', $Get_Content);
$file = $newname;
$content = file($file);
file_put_contents($file, $Stripcontent);
This works if you want to store the stripContent string. I recomend you to wrap it between a try{...}catch() and check for folder permisions to avoid problems!
Or if you want to use the built-in function for CSV you can use fputcsv (offical documentation):
<?php
$list = array (
array('aaa', 'bbb', 'ccc', 'dddd'),
array('123', '456', '789'),
array('"aaa"', '"bbb"')
);
$fp = fopen('file.csv', 'w');
foreach ($list as $fields) {
fputcsv($fp, $fields);
}
fclose($fp);
?>
Hope it helps!
