This looks ok then, assuming you want a semicolon as the field
separator.  In which case you should remove the comma, so your fputs()
call would look like:

fputs($fp, "$cc\n");

I don't know why the records would be inserted on the same line, using
this code the resultant file should look like:

name; email; s_name; s_email
name2; email2; s_name2; s_email2
...

which is correct.
