Export To Excel
I've been trying to export MySQL data to an excel / CSV file, and I have it pretty much populating the Excel properly with the data; however, the Excel sheet also includes the entire HTML formatting + CSS/JS coding before the export code. I've tried getting rid of it with strip_tags, to no avail. Is it because the export code is to the middle of the file? I tried to move it into the header, but that didn't work either. Any ideas? Code:

Export MYSQL Selected Rows
Any ideas on how to export selected rows from a mysql table into a schema.sql file?

Import/export Problem With CSV/PHP/MySQL
I need to design an import/export system. Data comes from a filemaker
pro DB in a big CSV file. Some alterations are made on the data as it is
imported into my mysql table. Data is something like :id,text1html,
text1raw,... .

Problems :
1. Texts can contain html tags, including entities (" etc), so
using only the '' as separator does not work.
2. Some line are so long that is appears php breaks them down, so I lose
data reading the file.

For 1, I've come across fgetcsv() in recent posts. Works fine for now.

For 2, I can't seem to find a solution. I've tried to detect "broken"
lines and stick them back together but no effect...

Another problem arises when I try to export the data back into CSV, as
it is suposed to be used in Excel. The CR/LF that are in the text are
logically interpreted as new rows in Excel. How can I get around this ?
Is there a special "new line" character that excel would not interpret
as new row ? Should I try another file format ?

CSV File Export To MySQL Databse
I have not created a database within MySQL, neither do i have any knowledge of PHP. I would like to export data from a webpage into the MySQL database. The generate sublist at the end of the page displays the data. I would like the generated data to be extracted and written into the MySQL database.

I would like this process to be automated. Meaning if data from where i am exporting changes, then the changes can be reflected into the MySQL database where i am exporting.
Any hints or tips where i can start from? I am in the process of learning MySQL first, then PHP.

Export Tables From Mysql -> Ms Access

mysql database.

Export Php Code With Mysql Phpmyadmin! How?
I have a mysql db that I use with phpmyadmin I want to export my entire database, but in php code because I am transferring this data to another db which does not have access to phpmyadmin, so i need to do it via php code

I can choose to dump the db with phpmyadmin with "none" selected and it shows me the sql but with a bunch of crap that will error the mysql_query() function for example: Code:

Generating MySQL Structure Export Data
I'm lookup for a PHP mechanism to export the structure data of a MySQL database.

The utility phpMyAdmin does this, via the export function. I studied the code, but failed to extract the relevant code.

I'm lookup for both structure-only as well as structure+content dumps. I'm using it to backup my website via webinterface (remote backup downloading).

Would any of you guys have any links to examples on how to proceed?

I could of course compress the raw MySQL files from /var/db/mysql in a TARfile, but i'd rather do it through the MySQL database.

Local Access Database To Shared PHP/MySql Hosting Export
My client has an MS Access database application on her local machine. I have
full access to that in terms of changing the design.

I've got a simple PHP/MySql application on shared hosting, so no direct
access to the db server.

I'd like to give her the facility to export the information in her local
Access application to the shared PHP/MySql site. From one command button (or
similar) in the Access application.

It would be probably be a complete overwrite. That is to say all the
information on the shared site would be overwritten with that from the local
machine.

I'm assuming that I'd have to make an HTTP request to some PHP page which
would then run the SQL to delete all the records, then append all the new
ones.

Is this the right approach? I don't want to spend weeks finding out that
this is fundamentally flawed in some way. The client has an ADSL connection.

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).

unrotunately with tutorials i found trough google i can substitute tables
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.

Php , Mysql And Excel
I´d want to pass the result of a mysql to an xls file (excel) , obviously all into my php page.

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 Imported Into MySQL
I have a Excel sheet, you can save this sheet as a wide range of extensions, the main one being .xls, but you can also do .txt tab delimited , html, .cvs, etc.... I'm very new to PHP and SQL. I'm trying to grab several columns of values, with like 200 rows. Each Column is labeled say - Model - Manufacturer - Name - Item # - Serial # etc... with each row under it displaying the info for that item.

Is there any way I can take that excel sheet and import it into the MySQL database or PHP?? I'm very new, so a very detailed explanation would be of GREAT assistance. Thank you allot in advanced, this will save me 3 hours of work for something that might be done in 10 minutes.

How To Make Text Wrap In Table Cells?
I don't understand this at all. I have a table with fixed width and height in pixels. Yet when I place a long text string in a cell, the cell expands as far as needed to the right or left to fit the string on one line. This is driving me quite mad. How do I ensure that a long string is displayed in a neat, orderly fashion? My question has nothing to go with wrapping text around images. I just simply need to have text wrapped!

Empty HTML Table Cells Have No Borders, What Do You Do?
When I first start using databases and dynamic content, I noticed that when you use table borders in your designs and if the database column/row doesn't have any info the html table outputed looks funny. I was wondering how you handle this.

I use a function that puts a clear gif image.

Code:
//This function is used for replacing an empty var with a clear gif 1px X 1px
function replace_empty($vars) {
if ($vars =="") {
$vars = "<img src='images/clear.gif' width=Ƈ' height=Ƈ' alt=''>";
}
echo $vars;
} //End function replace_empty

Or you could use some CSS like "empty-cells: show"

Print Table Cells To Fill In The End Of A Calendar
I have a variable called $rowCount that keeps track of how many total cells have been added to a table. Its actually the month view of a calendar. I need to print blank cells representing the days of the next month to fill in the cells and make the grid complete. I am almost there, I just need to figure out how to make it stop printing new cells when the $rowCount variable becomes divisible by 7. That would mean that all table rows have 7 columns, and the grid is complete. here is what I tried so far, but this just keeps printing the cells, never stopping. PHP Code:

Extract Html Table Cells And Put To An Array
i have a table like:

<tr><td>3a</td><td>3b</td><td>3c</td><td>3d</td></tr>
<tr><td>4a</td><td>4b</td><td>4c</td><td>4d</td></tr>

where there can be any number of rows and there can be any number of columns.

how can i read through this and create an array for each row, and use the header row as the keys.

ie have it something like:

QuotemyArray[0] = array(
'headA' = '1a',
'headB' = '1b',
'headC' = '1c',
'headD' = '1c',
);

myArray[1] = array(
'headA' = '2a',
'headB' = '2b',
'headC' = '2c',
'headD' = '2c',
);

etc....

PHP Export > Csv
I have got a page on a site that I'm working on. As you can see there are 3 drop down menu's which are dynamicaly driven by 3 tables within my database. On selection of the lists, you are taken to the same page (show if statement - dreamweaver) which shows you the record count. This is based on your criteria!

At this point. I would like to export the query results into a .csv file. Now I have looked across the forums and found a few things and tried to implement them into my site, all of which are bringing up an empty page. Possibly because my search queries are dynamic?

CSV Export Thing
I am looking at the fputcsv function for something that I need. In summary,
this is what I want to do:

1. Go through a table
2. Get all the columns and put them into an array
3. write the array to a CSV file
4. Go to the next row
5. Append the table row into the CSV file
6. Repeat for each row in the table

The php site shows this:

<?php

$list = array (
'aaa,bbb,ccc,dddd',
ì«,456,789',
'"aaa","bbb"'
);

$fp = fopen('file.csv', 'w');

foreach ($list as $line) {
fputcsv($fp, split(',', $line));
}

fclose($fp);
?>

I'm assuming that I need the 'a+' mode for opening the file and not 'w'?

I'm ashamed to say that I have no idea how to loop through the table and put
the columns into the array.

What I'm coming up with at the moment is this:

<?php do {

$list = array (
'
$row_Recordset1['firstname'],
$row_Recordset1['lastname'],
$row_Recordset1['email'],
$row_Recordset1['telephone']'
'
);

$fp = fopen('/path/to/the/file.csv', 'a+');

foreach ($list as $line) {
fputcsv($fp, split(',', $line));
}

fclose($fp);
