Need to delete quotation marks from an already written-to file

I need to delete/remove double quotation marks from an already written file

[fredfletcher]

Hello,

I would like to know if someone can help me with this:

I have .csv file (semi-colon delimited) that has 5 columns with data being written to it from a user-submitted form and some of the fields have double quotation marks (") around them after the data file has been written to, the fields being $ip and $today

For example, the first 3 fields have no quotation marks, but the last two do:

Bob;Barker;[e-mail];"209.255.255.122";"26 Jan 2011 05:11 AM"

Is there a way to stop the quotation marks from being processed before the data gets written to the file?

Here is the code that is executed once the form has been submitted:

----------------------------------------
$list = array (

array($name, $lname, $email, $ip, $today)

);

$fp = fopen('/home/public_html/cgi-bin/data/file.txt', 'a+');

foreach ($list as $fields) {

fputcsv($fp, $fields, $delimiter = ';');

$fp= str_replace('"', "", $fp); < that didn't work for me

}

fclose($fp);

----------------------------------------

Thank you

This is actually correct processing of the fields. If you don't want to use the standard CSV format, the easiest thing to do is write a loop and output it yourself, somethink like:

$line=implode(",",$fields); for each

Hi Vince,

Thanks for the reply. Do I replace your suggestion with my

$fp= str_replace('"', "", $fp);

?
