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.

From MySQL To Excel (through PHP)
it's possible to manage an exixtent excel file with PHP? :
i already have an excel file formatted in many fileds,
and i have to modify only some of these fields (i need to add data).

in my excel file, and i cannot modify the fields, it overwrites and stop.

Excel To MySQL
I currentley use Navicat for most of my Excel to MySQL conversions. But I would like to get this web based.

Ideally the user would submit a standard .xls via a form upload.

Now here is the complex part. The file has 6 spreadsheets in it. Each spreadsheet has different columns and some of those columns need to go into different tables. So it's NOT just xls to one mysql table. It's actuallt one xls file with numerous spreadsheets going into different MySQL tables based on the column names.

Excel > XML > MySQL
I am wondering if there is a way I can use an upload form to upload an Excel XML export or just an .xls file to a MySQL database. I am also wondering if there is a tutorial out there that can help. So far I have only been able to find sites that offer tools to do it, but I want to use an upload form instead.

Csv File Gives Errors In Excel?
Ive created a script that generates a csv file on the webserver, whereafter the user can download it, in order to open it in Excel. Excel gives the following error:

1) cannot read record 1
2) File myfile.csv is not a valid SYLK format.

I really don't know whats wrong. The first 3 rows look like this of the csv file look like this:

ID;Relationname;City;Article;Period;Startdate;Amount;Price;Total;Interval
1300;Restaurant BeauBeaty;London;LTP1;quater;01-08-1999;1;12.50;300.00;200308-200507
1303;Café Blue moon;Leeds;LTP1;year;01-08-1999;1;0.00;358.80;200308-200507

Anyone a clue why Excel doesnt want to read this? (It won't even read the 3 lines only, after deleting the other rows)

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:

Hyperlink To An Excel File
I have a hyperlink to an Excel spreadsheet but I'm having a bit of trouble with it. My first problem was that IE6 integrates Excel into the IE window when you click an Excel link. I overcame that by having a dummy Excel file run that had VBA code to launch the real application in a new window. That's probably too much info, but there it is.

Moving on. My problem is the users will be opening up this VBA Excel application of mine from our Intranet. When they click on the link, the dummy Excel file runs, that in turn launches the real application and all is well and good. Except for one thing. When the user is done or goes back to the IE Intranet window where they launched the application, this is the error that is displayed:

The page cannot be displayed: The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your browser settings.

My two solutions were to either have the link do two things simulatenously. You would click on the app link and it would run the application and it would also reload the Intranet home page. My second solution was to have them click the link and then it would go back to the previous page they were on all in the same click procedure/event/whatever. Code:

File Excel Not Recognized

Data From MySQL Into CSV For Excel?
I've a survey form that I need to get data from and put into a mySQL
database.
Easy, can do it eyes closed.

But, then I need to be able to take that same information and convert
it (either directly or pulling it back out from the database) into a
CSV (or any file for that matter) that can be easily imported, added
into an existing Excel database.

I've no idea how to do that. (I can query the database, that I can do,
and create recordsets, AND create text files, but I've never created a
CSV file before.)

Is there a source, a good Web site for example, that explains that
kind of process pretty well?

EXCEL File Up/download Management
I need to make a PHP script where you can: Download a file and at the same time make it impossible for other to download the same file before it has been uploaded and released by the 'uploader' again. In this way you can secure that only one can make changes to the file at a time.

I have tried several uploader/downloader and file manager PHP scripts - but none has the above described functionality.

- The file, which needs to be uploaded/downloaded, is an EXCEL file.
- An issue is determining whether or not someone is already downloading the file.
- An other issue is how to regulate that only the 'one' who has downloaded the EXCEL file is also allowed to (modify and) upload it again. You might have a person, which has an old version of the EXCEL file, which just try to upload without knowing that another person has downloaded the file in the meantime.

Pass Through Excel File With Curl, IE Problem
I'd like to pass through an Excel file from one server, (one secret
password) to a user (different passwords). I thought I had duplicated
the headers:

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $user_agent);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 100);

$result=curl_exec ($ch);
curl_close ($ch);

$headerend = 0;
while (!$headerend){
$x = strpos($result, "
");
if ($x == 0){
$headerend = 1;
}else{
header (substr($result, 0, $x+1));
$result = substr($result, $x+2);
}
}
print substr($result,2);
die();

but I always have Excel opening and saying: Could not open file
http://mydomain/file/php?p1=x&p2=y

Goes fine with Firefox 0.8 at least, so I assume IE is also taking the
