使用PHP自动将HTML表格转换为CSV？

Question

I am just in need to convert a this html table automatically in csv using PHP. Can someone provide any idea how to do this? Thanks.

$table = '<table border="1">
<tr>
<th>Header 1</th>
<th>Header 2</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>row 1, cell 1</td>
<td>row 1, cell 2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>row 2, cell 1</td>
<td>row 2, cell 2</td>
</tr>
</table>';

Guys, I just need $table to convert in only .csv file, which could be automatically generated using some PHP function. We can define path for that csv file to /test/home/path_to_csv

You can use str_get_html http://simplehtmldom.sourceforge.net/

include "simple_html_dom.php";
$table = '<table border="1">
<tr>
<th>Header 1</th>
<th>Header 2</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>row 1, cell 1</td>
<td>row 1, cell 2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>row 2, cell 1</td>
<td>row 2, cell 2</td>
</tr>
</table>';

$html = str_get_html($table);



header('Content-type: application/ms-excel');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=sample.csv');

$fp = fopen("php://output", "w");

foreach($html->find('tr') as $element)
{
    $td = array();
    foreach( $element->find('th') as $row)  
    {
        $td [] = $row->plaintext;
    }
    fputcsv($fp, $td);

    $td = array();
    foreach( $element->find('td') as $row)  
    {
        $td [] = $row->plaintext;
    }
    fputcsv($fp, $td);
}


fclose($fp);
