exporting to csv text containig the delimiter character

Question

I am exporting some text to csv using php. The problem is that the text sometimes contains the csv delimiter. The user decide what the delimiter will be so i can't change it. How do i make the text go into one cell and not split into different cells?

thank you all

Use `fputcsv` and provide your delimiter – u_mulder Nov 14 '19 at 13:42 — u_mulder, Nov 14 '19 at 13:42

Use double-quotes, like so:

foo,"bar,baz"
