<?php

// This sample code creates a new CSV file (sample.csv)
// that contains this content:
// 
// year,color,country,food
// 2001,red,France,cheese
// 2005,blue,"United States",hamburger

// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.Csv')
$csv = new COM("Chilkat.Csv");

// Indicate that the 1st row
// should be treated as column names:
$csv->HasColumnNames = 1;

$success = $csv->SetColumnName(0,'year');
$success = $csv->SetColumnName(1,'color');
$success = $csv->SetColumnName(2,'country');
$success = $csv->SetColumnName(3,'food');

$success = $csv->SetCell(0,0,'2001');
$success = $csv->SetCell(0,1,'red');
$success = $csv->SetCell(0,2,'France');
$success = $csv->SetCell(0,3,'cheese');

$success = $csv->SetCell(1,0,'2005');
$success = $csv->SetCell(1,1,'blue');
$success = $csv->SetCell(1,2,'United States');
$success = $csv->SetCell(1,3,'hamburger');

// Write the CSV to a string and display:

$csvDoc = $csv->saveToString();
print $csvDoc . "\n";

// Save the CSV to a file:
$success = $csv->SaveFile('out.csv');
if ($success != 1) {
    print $csv->LastErrorText . "\n";
