PHP :: CSV Exporting

Exporting To An XML File
I grabbed a web page and had it extract only the links between certain line numbers. Now I want to take that output and export it to an XML file in a format of my choosing. For example:

<a href="mysite.com">This is my site</a>

Would export to:

<link>mysite.com</link>
<description>
This is my site
</description>

I will then take that XML file and output it as HTML, however I already have this bit accomplished.

PHP Exporting To Quickbooks
I am working on a web-based payroll application (PHP/MySQL of course) that needs to be able to dump each employee's information in to a Quickbooks formatted file for payroll processing.

I have done this several times exporting to a tab/comma deliminated text file (usually MS Excel), but I was wondering if anyone could see any reason why it could not be done the same way (assuming that Quickbooks uses a a tab/comma file structure) for Quickbooks??? If it can be done would I use the same mechanics as I would for Excel (changing the file type meta tag)?

Database Exporting
Quite by accident, I found the mysqldump utility, that comes with MySQL,
which dumps/backsup a database, table, or record. It looks very versatile!

Does PHP have a way to export records of a MySQL database? Anything that
does the same independent of the database used?

Database Exporting
As part of the CMS that I've written, I would like to give users the ability
to backup their own databases. Is there any way that this can be done with
PHP? What I'd like is for them to click a link and for it to create a txt
file and open the "Save as" dialog box so that they can save it off to their
hard drive.

Exporting Csv File
I'm having issues getting all the information from 3-4 databases into one
csv file.. What easy thing am I missing this time?

header("Content-type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=export.csv");
header("Pragma: no-cache");
header("Expires: 0");
$select = "SELECT * FROM ordersCopy O, orders_products P, orders_total Q
WHERE O.orders_id=P.orders_id OR O.orders_id=Q.orders_id AND
orders_status=Ɖ'";

$export = mysql_query($select);
$count = mysql_num_fields($export);
for ($i = 0; $i < $count; $i++) {
$header .= mysql_field_name($export, $i)." ";
}
while($row = mysql_fetch_row($export)) {
$line = ''
foreach($row as $value) {
if ((!isset($value)) OR ($value == "")) {
$value = " ";
} else {
$value = str_replace('"', '""', $value);
$value = '"' . $value . '"' . " ";
}
$line .= $value;
}
$data .= trim($line)."
";
}
$data = str_replace("
", "", $data);
if ($data == "") {
$data = "
(0) Records Found!
";
}
print "$header
$data";

Exporting Mysql
there is a function in phpmyadmin that exports all the data etc from a mysql
database to an sql text document, or Excel File.

I would like to know if there is an inherent way of doing this without
phpmyadmin. - straight through php.

Exporting From MySQL To .csv Using PHP
I'm sort of new to PHP. I am using the following code to retrieve a
column from a database and to put all of the results into a .csv
file. This allows creates a .csv file, but only lists the first
result from the database. It is not returning all of the rows. I
know the issue is somewhere in my "foreach" but I'm not sure where.

<?php

$selectSql = "SELECT artist_name FROM lounge_products";
$selects = $db->getAll($selectSql);

foreach($selects as $select) {

$content = $select[artist_name].",";

}

Header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=export.csv");
print $content;
?>

I would like to be able to make a special backdoor section for him, where he enters his username and password and is given a link which will make take a snapshot of the mySQL database and convert it to a Microsoft Access database which he can download to his computer.

Exporting From Db To Text File
I have the following sql statement that works from phpmyadmin and from the MySQL command line, but not php. The resultant $sql variable is the following:

$sql=select logrecno, county, sumlev
into outfile "/tmp/census.txt"
fields terminated by ','
lines terminated by ""
from sf1_msageo
where sf1_msageo.county=97 and sf1_msageo.sumlev=140

$result=mysql_query($sql); The query executes, returns no messages, and does not create a file. Any idea as to what I'm doing wrong?

File Exporting To Excel
This code exports data from my DB into an Excel file by using " " as the delimiter. It runs through the script over and over until it's done creating an Excel file with columns of data, but is there a way that I can add a value to the beginning of the script - thereby naming the columns? Code:

Exporting MySQL Database To File Using PHP
I want to export my database to a file that is hosted on the same server. I got this script from somewhere, but it doesnt work. Most likely because I cannot access mysql command thru the shell_exec() command, however, I am able to use the wget command thru the shell...

Exporting Search Results To A CSV File

BBCode Parsers And Exporting Text From A DB
I'm currently working on a simple (at least I had hoped) script to pull posts from a single "news" forum from phpbb and importing it on the front page of my site. It works great except for the BBCode issues.

It doesn't keep line breaks (biggest concern) as well as text colors, urls, etc (which was expected). Talking with a friend, he tells me that I'm going to have to insert some BBCode parser to make things work right. I have 3 questions regarding this:

1) is that my only answer?

2) should I try to use the phpbb BBCode parser that the forum uses?

3) should I install a custom BBCode parser instead?

I did not want to use a portal because they were just over bloated for what I needed and that was simply the posts from the forum itself w/o all the extras like who's online, last post made on the forums, etc.

Would it just be easier to try to strip down something like EZportal to just the info I need instead of trying to use this custom script?

Problems While Exporting Data Using Pipe Symbols
I am facing problems while trying to export data into
pipe format. In fact I am fetching records from mysql database and then
trying to create a text file ( using pipe as delimeter) , intending to
open in Excel.

The data is been inserted from textarea fields, where the
user can write text and may press enter key to format his text
accordingly. Now when the data entered into the database it keeps some
unidentified value so as to keep the formatting. Hence while displaying
the text file I find that lines are seperated according to the format
user gave. Thus creating the problem while opening up in the excel
file.

example:

Exporting Database To Excel (via Website, NOT PhpMyAdmin)?
I know via phpMyAdmin I can export my database in Microsoft Excel 2000 format, and can check a box to 'Create field names as first row', but it doesn't give me the php code used to achieve this. I need to have a page on a website so the administrators will be able to do this for themselves, does anyone know if this is possible?

Exporting Data From Mysql Using Php In Excel Form..?
I have a table in mysql wich contain a sim_number field which is 19 digit unsigned number. i have designed a script using php headear command for exporting data as excel. It is working but with the follwoing problem.
Since sim_number is 19 digit number when it get exported as .xls file. now when that .xls file is opened, excel automatically detect this sim_number as number and , since excel can store only 15 digit in number format it converts its last 4 digits to zeros.

Is there any way to get this sim_number exported as text so that excel store complete 19 digit number in text format. I cannot attach some charctor to this sim_number because of restricion on file format.

Exporting DB Results (or Flat File) To An Excel File
I have two scripts, neither of which have been written, that will need to collect user information. They will either write to a flat file or to a MySQL DB, and I need a way for an administrator to grab an Excel file based on this data.

First, no more than 100 people are expected to sign up, so flat file is certainly viable. Do you recommend I use DB or flat file?

Second, based on your recommendation, how should I go about exporting the user data to an Excel file? There will be about ten form fields per registration to give you an idea.
