    * Based on (forked from) the work by https://gist.github.com/Kostanos

    * This revision allows the PHP file to be included/required in another PHP file and called as a function, rather than focusing on command line usage.
    *
    * Convert JSON file to CSV and output it.
    *
    * JSON should be an array of objects, dictionaries with simple data structure
    * and the same keys in each object.
    * The order of keys it took from the first element.
    *
    * Example:
    * json:
    * [
    *  { "key1": "value", "kye2": "value", "key3": "value" },
    *  { "key1": "value", "kye2": "value", "key3": "value" },
    *  { "key1": "value", "kye2": "value", "key3": "value" }
    * ]
    *
    * The csv output: (keys will be used for first row):
    * 1. key1, key2, key3
    * 2. value, value, value
    * 3. value, value, value
    * 4. value, value, value
    *
    * Usage:
    *
    *     require '/path/to/json-to-csv.php';
    *
    *     // echo a JSON string as CSV
    *     jsonToCsv($strJson);
    *
    *     // echo an arrayJSON string as CSV
    *     jsonToCsv($arrJson);
    *
    *     // save a JSON string as CSV file
    *     jsonToCsv($strJson,"/save/path/csvFile.csv");
    *
    *     // save a JSON string as CSV file through the browser (no file saved on server)
    *     jsonToCsv($strJson,false,true);
    *
