How to print values of array on every line to text file in php?

I have an array $customers, and want to print each value of the array to a text file. Array looks like this:

[0] = Sam, John, Rick
[1] = Jacob, Richard, David
[2] = Jesse, Frank, Louise

This is what I had in mind, but it doesn't seem to like implode:

$pos = 0;
    foreach ($customers as $customer)
    {
      $result = implode(" ",$customers[$pos]);
      //echo implode(" ",$customers[$pos]);
      file_put_contents('active.txt', $result);
      $pos = $pos + 1;
    }

The result I would expect in the text file is:

Sam, John, Rick
Jacob, Richard, David
Jesse, Frank, Louise

Can anyone explain how to do this? The goal is to have the array to appear comma delimited in a text file to export to Excel.

Each element of $customers is a single value, so rather than using a loop and imploding the strings, which also overwrite each other in the file.

You can just implode() the whole array with PHP_EOL for the line separator...

file_put_contents('active.txt', implode(PHP_EOL ,$customers));
