frm_csv_headers

Heads up! This article contains PHP code and is intended for developers. We offer this code as a courtesy, but don't provide support for code customizations or 3rd party development.

Use this hook to customize the header row(s) in your CSV export from the Formidable → Import/Export page.

Usage

add_action('frm_csv_headers', 'frm_change_csv', 10, 2);

Formidable Forms makes advanced site building simple. Launch forms, directories, dashboards, and custom WordPress apps faster than ever before.

Parameters

  • $form_id (int)
  • $fields (array)

Examples

Encode UTF-8 with BOM

This example will allow the CSV to be encoded with BOM.

add_action('frm_csv_headers', 'frm_bom_csv');
function frm_bom_csv() {
  echo chr(239) . chr(187) . chr(191);
}

To add the BOM to an exported view, use the frm_export_csv_table_heading hook instead.
