val11 val12 val31
val21 val22 val32
val31 val32 val33

is there anyway please let me know . thanks

Answer 1

The easiest way is to flip the arrays from columns to rows.

Assuming that all the arrays have the same number of elements, this should do the job:

$rows = array();

// Converts the arrays of columns into arrays of rows
$length = count($first_array);
for ($i = 0; $i < $length; $i++) {
  $rows[$i] = array($first_array[$i], $second_array[$i], $third_array[$i]);
}

// Writes the rows to the file
$fp = fopen('outfile.csv', 'w');
foreach ($rows as $row) {
  fputcsv($fp, $row);
}
fclose($fp);

Check this code

<?php
    $list = array (
        array('aaa', 'bbb', 'ccc', 'dddd'),
        array('123', '456', '789'),
        array('"aaa"', '"bbb"')
    );
    $fp = fopen('test.csv', 'w');
    foreach ($list as $fields) {
        fputcsv($fp, $fields);
    }
    fclose($fp);
 ?>
