    Perfect Thanks a lot.

    When I want to do it in a TD format I have done :

    $item[2]=str_replace(chr(13), "</td><td>", $item[2]);
    $item[3]=trim($item[3]);

    and When I run above lines I get :

    [​IMG]

    When I copy paste the same in My Excel or NotePad I get below Format :


    Brett B 61 Station Road
    Plymouth
    PL2 1NH 01752 513159

    And :


    Can I put below lines under a function so that I can call function ?


    foreach ($matches as $item) {

    $item[2]=str_replace(chr(13), "</td><td>", $item[2]);
    echo '<table border=1><tr><td>'.$item[1].'</td><td>'.$item[2].'</td><td>'.$item[3].'</td></tr></table>';

    Instead of what I said earlier about strip_tags, use the str_replace function to replace the <br tags with <td tags.

    something like:

    str_replace('<br />', '</td><td>', $item[2]);

    Think about it this way, for each br> tag, instead of a new line you want to close a table so the next line gets put into a <td tag.

    This is what you have already, correct..

    echo '<table border=1><tr><td>'.$item[1].'</td><td>'.$item[2].'</td><td>'.$item[3].'</td></tr></table>
    PHP:
    Which is the content of item2 gets surrounded with a <td tag already.

    So using str_replace('</br>'. '</td><td>', $item[2]) should replace the <br tags with a closing tag and an opening tag for what was the next line.

    echo '<table border=1><tr><td>'.$item[1].'</td><td>'.str_replace('<br />', '</td><td>', $item[2]).'</td><td>'.$item[3].'</td></tr></table>
    PHP:
    Works for me...

    Here is an easy method, I recently found

    Requires Simple HTML Dom (http://simplehtmldom.sourceforge.net/)

    Then use the code below:

    <?php
    include_once('simple_html_dom.php');
    for($i=1;$i<=4;$i++){

    Its working fine with me, you need to check file permissions, try chmod to 777

    You can also try a javascript function to generate csv file on click of a button, (Sorry, I am not yet good with javascript)

    this might help you in that case http://codingforums.com/showpost.php?p=783184&postcount=5
