Unwanted additional line at end of CSV file about csv HOT 5 CLOSED

Ok as per the documentation there are several ways to instantiate the object I think you've just combined many of them. The problem may be related to that. I would suggest, simplify your code like below:

$filepath = '/path/to/my/csv/file.csv';
$csv = League\Csv\Writer::createFromPath($filepath, 'w');
$csv->insertAll($csv_data);

Nothing more... it will work and the empty line should disappear. You do not need to use fopen first. by using the w open mode the library will try to open or create the file if it does not succeed a RuntimeException will be thrown.

Thanks for your response. I was trying something similar but the missing piece was the "w" in the second argument to create the file.

Anyway, it's still putting an empty line at the end of the CSV file.

Code is now:

$csv = League\Csv\Writer::createFromPath($filepath, "w");
$csv->insertAll($csv_data);

from csv.

The end line is put because of SplFileObject::fputcsv as per documentation:

fputcsv() formats a line (passed as a fields array) as CSV and write it (terminated by a newline) to the specified file handle.

from csv.

Is it worth doing a PR to have an option which doesn't include the newline?

from csv.

No need to PR this, there's a quick workaround for that:

function outputWithoutEndingEOL(League\Csv\AbstractCSV $csv)
{
    return  rtrim($csv->newReader());
}
