Writing your own CSV code is probably a waste of your time, just use a package such as league/csv - it deals with all the difficult stuff for you, the documentation is good and it's very stable / reliable:

You'll need to be using composer. If you don't know what composer is I highly recommend you have a look: https://getcomposer.org/
