Question

I have an array which is structured like this
[cars] => Array
(
[0] => 43063
[1] => 17306
[2] => 116078
)
[houses] => Array
(
[0] => 13300
[1] => 32243
)
[garage] => Array
(
[0] => 13094
[1] => 30649
)
[hotels] => Array
(
[0] => 10025
[1] => 59468
[2] => 29734
)
I would like to create a csv file out of that array. My csv file should be structured this way
cars,43063,17306,116078
houses,13300,32243,1000
garage,13094,30649,1000
hotels,10025,59468,29734
I have tried several codes, but i am not getting what i want, how can i acheive it in php ?
Here is the var dump of my array
array(4) {
["23"]=>
array(1) {
["cars"]=>
int(43063)
}
[23]=>
array(4) {
["cars"]=>
int(17306)
["houses"]=>
int(13300)
["garage"]=>
int(13094)
["hotels"]=>
int(10025)
}
[22]=>
array(4) {
["cars"]=>
int(116078)
["houses"]=>
int(32243)
["garage"]=>
int(30649)
["hotels"]=>
int(59468)
}
[21]=>
array(1) {
["hotels"]=>
int(29734)
}
}
I would like to have a csv that contains 4 lines, one line for each key (hotels,car,garage,etc..
cars,43063,17306,116078
houses,13300,32243,1000
garage,13094,30649,1000
hotels,10025,59468,29734

Answer 1

You could try something like this
function arrayToValues(array $data)
{
$output = array();
foreach ($data as $key => $item) {
if (is_array($item)) {
$output = array_merge($output, array($key), arrayToValues($item));
} else {
$output[] = $item;
}
}
return $output;
}
$csvData = implode(',', arrayToValues($yourArrayData));
If you want to write the output you could use fputcsv in combination with the function instead.

Quick and dirty:
foreach ($arr as $key => $vals) {
echo $key . implode(",", $vals) . "\n";
}
UPDATE:
$transformed = array();
foreach ($arr as $item) {
foreach ($item as $key => $val) {
$transformed[$key][] = $val;
}
}
foreach ($transformed as $key => $vals) {
echo $key . implode(",", $vals) . "\n";
}
