Creating A .csv Document With PHP

This is a very basic script for creating a .csv file in PHP and is easy to set up and display information.
The Script
OK, here's the whole script. I'll explain how it works after:
<?php
header ("Content-type: application/csv
Content-Disposition: "inline; filename=dates_of_year.csv"");
echo "Day,Month,Year";
echo "1,6,2011";
echo "3,11,2011";
echo "19,2,2011";
?>
header ("Content-type: application/csv
Content-Disposition: "inline; filename=dates_of_year.csv"");
echo "Day,Month,Year";
echo "1,6,2011";
echo "3,11,2011";
echo "19,2,2011";
?>
As you can see it is very basic. It will look something like this when you open the .csv file:
| Day | Month | Year |
| 1 | 6 | 2011 |
| 3 | 11 | 2011 |
| 19 | 2 | 2011 |
How It Works
Very simple. For every box(See above) you want to display information in, you need to add a comma(,):
Day,Month,Year
And for every "break", you need to add a forward slash and the letter n:
\n
Hope that helps you out in displaying data! You can aslo set it up to display MySQL results too!
Enjoy!
