Is your requirement strictly CSV or can it be an actual Excel file? I found
this article recently at bakery.cakephp.org (which I plan on using) to
create an XLS file from database records:
http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/generate-excel-spreadsheets-from-your-database
If it's strictly CSV what you need, then it won't help, but I think what
klonae said is probably the simplest way.
klonae: just wondering, shouldn't the header() calls be made just before the
foreach begins?
