/*
 * The array is associative, where the keys are headers
 * and the values are the items in that column.
 * 
 * Because the array is by column, this function is probably costly.
 * Consider a different layout for your array and use a better function.
 * 
 * @param $array array The array to convert to csv.
 * @param $file string of the path to write the file.
 * @param $delimeter string a character to act as glue.
 * @param $enclosure string a character to wrap around text that contains the delimeter
 * @param $escape string a character to escape the enclosure character.
 * @return mixed int|boolean result of file_put_contents.
