• Hi,

    I noticed that double-quote characters are escaped with backslash character rather than with an extra double-quote character as required for CSV format: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma-separated_values#Basic_rules

    Also, I don’t think end-of-line characters should be escaped with backslash – according to the Wikipedia article (and my experience) quoting of the entire string should be enough.

    So I think that instead of (in flamingo_csv_row()):

    $input = esc_sql( $input );
    $input = sprintf( '"%s"', $input );
    $row[] = $input;
    

    This should be enough:

    // Escape double-quotes in $input and quote the entire string:
    $row[] = sprintf( '"%s"', str_replace('"', '""', $input) );
    

    Cheers,
    ?eslav
