csv is plain text seperated by commas ,. There is no styling attached to it. You could all caps the output, or you could use another format that supports text styles.

The easiest/best solution is to use a `php/excel` library. You can find a great list of them at [stackoverflow.com/questions/3930975/alternative-for-php-excel#3931142](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3930975/alternative-for-php-excel#3931142) – Sean Nov 28 '12 at 06:27
