Export with multible headers

[urshar]

Hi,

I export some data to a csv file with the first row is a header. That work fine, but i need some more information before the header.
I need to add the 8 Lines before the header. The Output should be like this:

Formula=CUBED
Id=501
Name=OeBSV ParaPoints Table
Options=HANDICAP
ShortNameVersion=OeBSV 2017
Version=2017

<BASETIMES>
COURSE;GENDER;RELAYCOUNT;DISTANCE;STROKE;HANDICAP;MINTIME;MAXTIME
SCM;F;1;25;FREE;X;00:13,07;
SCM;F;1;25;FREE;S1;00:27,07;

How can i do this?

You can return as many heading rows as you want in the heading method

The extra ; shouldn't really matter. PhpSpreadsheet will always add those, because there's rows with that many columns.

The exported csv file is used in a software, that crashed, if those extra semicolon are behind the first entry in the header.
is it possible, the export process get an existing file and add the exported data in this file?

You can always build that yourself

Sorry, I don't quite understand your last answer to my question. Do you think I should program the whole export without your tool or it works with your tool. Then unfortunately I don't know how to tell the export that it should access an existing file and append the data

Use Laravel Excel to make the csv. Open (with PHP) the generated csv file and prepend your data.
