PHP :: Exporting From MySQL To .csv Using PHP

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...

Here's the code I was trying to use:

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.

I created the csv file, but it only shows the last record in my db. How can I make it show all of the records? Here's the code:

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 To Excel
I followed the really cool how to at http://www.phpfreaks.com/tutorials/114/0.php but I had to change some things to get it to stop giving me errors. After I did that It seemed to work great but it put everything into one cell in the excel document. Code:

Exporting To Microsoft Access
I have a PHP website with a mySQL database and a client wants to be able to see the database on his computer using Microsoft Access.

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.

Is this possible?

Since he isn't very computer savvy I need a way as user friendly as possible to let him download the database and view on his local 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:

New Exporting / Getting News From Different Server

Exporting Search Results To A CSV File
I am about to start programming up a database, where the client requies the data exported to a CSV file for use in mail merge documents etc.

What I would like to know is, if they run a query on the database, and only export five of the 10 fields in the table to the list, how would I go about reatining the field names on the first line of the CSV file?

Exporting Information From Entourage To A Website.
I have this new website for a client, it has a calender which shows events from a mysql database but they don't want to have to update the information to it manually.
What they are using is a program called Microsoft Entourage. What are the possible ways for me to be able to get that information every 1 hour and get it into a database?

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 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.

PHP And MySQL: How To Properly Call A Stored Procedure With Output Parameters From PHP - Mysql, Mysqli, Or PDO
I am currently using PHP 5 and MySQL 5, both on Fedora Core 5. I am
unable to call a MySQL stored procedure that returns output parameters
using mysql, mysqli, or PDO. I'm having a hell of a time with it...

The following comes from phpinfo():
PHP Version: 5.1.2
mysql Client API version: 5.0.18
mysqli Client API version: 5.0.18
PDO Driver for MySQL, client library version: 5.0.18

MySQL version, from running SELECT version(); = 5.0.18

Here's the procedure I've created in MySQL:
CREATE PROCEDURE testproc(OUT p_testvar varchar(50)) BEGIN SET
p_testvar = 'HELLO WORLD!' END
[color=blue]
>From the MySQL Command Line, I can do the following:[/color]
mysql> call testproc(@a);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> select @a;
+--------------+
| @a |
+--------------+
| HELLO WORLD! |
+--------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

MySQL Error - Supplied Argument Is Not A Valid MySQL-Link Resource
I am getting the error

Warning: mysql_select_db(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/server7/public_html/71/arranholloway/database4.php on line 7

I tested my code on local computer and there were no problems, the error message only appeared when I loaded it onto my web hosters server. I'm new to PHP so its probably something simple but any help would be appreciated.

Connection With MySQL. Navicat - CANNOT CONNECT TO MYSQL SERVER ON LOCALHOST
I am new in PHP & MYSQL. I installed PHP & MYSQL properly. To easy
operate for MYSQL I installed Navicat and it installed properly. But
when I am going to test the connection between MYSQL & Navicate the
error message showing CANNOT CONNECT TO MYSQL SERVER ON LOCALHOST
(10022) it should mention that my connection name = localhost, Ip =
localhost,port = 3306 , user name = root in Navicat.

PHP Saying Error In Mysql Syntax, But Written My Mysql Query Browser!
I have a basic db that I access with MySQL query browser. Everything
seems fine to me but I am using this db as part of a php shopping
basket and when I try to add an item I get:

Notice: Query failed: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the
manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right
syntax to use near '>function.extract]: First argument should be an
array in functions.inc.php on line 31
Notice: Undefined variable: price in functions.inc.php on line 36
Notice: Undefined variable: price in functions.inc.php on line 39
Notice: Undefined variable: total in unctions.inc.php on line 39

I'm assuming the last three are caused by this problem as price should
be passed to the cart, and total is worked out using it. However
although I know mySQL code it was the MySQL query browser that
actually generated the code and I cannot see a way to view or debug
the code.

The db has one table in it which is made up of id, name, subname,
desc, and price.

The code in the php file that is being referred to is:

Automatic Scheduled MySQL Backup (MySQL Dump)
Is it possible to configure a UNIX/LINUX server to do a MySQL Dump for a database on an automatic schedule and then to email the dump file to me (the administrator)?

I want to be able to have my database automatically backed up every week and emailed to me for storage purposes without any action on my part.

PHP/MySQL: Using PHP To Probe MySQL Db And Send An Email Automatically
Let's say you have a login feature on your site... and a user forgets their password which is stored along side their email address in a MySQL database. Is it possible to use PHP to automatically send the password to that email address upon request? If so, please provide a detailed solution. If not, can Java be used in some way to accomplish this?

--with-mysql ? Php-4.4.2 With Mysql Install In Special Directory
I'm trying to link php-4.4.2 with mysql install in special directory,
like /usr/newsystem/mysql, but whatever options I try, php always gets
linked to version in /usr/local/lib. I've tried several options:

--with-mysql=/usr/newsystem/mysql
--with-mysql-dir=/usr/newsystem/mysql
--with-mysql-lib=/usr/newsystem/mysql
--with-mysql-lib-dir=/usr/newsystem/mysql

....but none of them work, CLI is always build against /usr/local/lib/
libraries.

Create A Sequence In MySQL, With Mysql Variable?
This might be fairly easy to do and I think I've seen the code before,
but I haven't seen many good examples of this. Of course Pear::DB
probably uses this code in some of its API, probably in dealing with
auto-increment indexes and prepared statements.

Maybe I'm off base here, but I'm looking for something like this:
(psuedo-code)
Of course the seq table only needs 1 row holding id, which is
updated.
select id from tbl;
// get result resouce and do fetch, store value in $myid
set @myvar = $myid + 1; // can php send to MySQL with a query? (
never seen this )
update myseq set id=@myvar // send this statement through in a
update/query

// for use in PHP code
$newSeqVal = $myid +1

Copy And Paste On MySQL To MySQL Database
Would there be any issues if i literary Copy and Paste a mysql db from one server to another mysql db server? When i say "copy and paste" is just like tranferring one word doc from one pc to another pc.

I tried the copy and paste already and the new server had recognize the DB i had pasted. I just want to confirm if there would be issues doing it so.. Or should i use Mysql.com Migration toolkit?

Php/Mysql- Uploading Mysql Database
I've set up a basic database using Mysql (just creating a web blog I followed a tutorial) and then started writing the php code for interacting with the database. how do I put the Mysql database onto the the web server where I have server space (the server I use is just some company that I pay €100 a year for). I need the php file to get the data from the Mysql database...

Problem Getting PHP To Recognize MySQL, Using PHP 4.3.7 And MySQL 4.0.20
I have both PHP 4.0( RPM) installed and MySQL 4.0.20 installed with the
mysqld daemon up and running. But when I look at the output of phpinfo() ,
I do not see it there, which is worrisome and so I tried to recompile PHP
and do ./configure with the --with-mysql=path but I don't really know
where my mysql's header files should be , is there any way to find that
out by using any of the mysql commands?

I did try to do ./configure for PHP4 without any parameters and when I
looked at the output, I do see that PHP seems to recognize that mySQL is
there :

....
checking for MSSQL support via FreeTDS... no
checking for MySQL support... yes
checking for specified location of the MySQL UNIX socket... no
checking for MySQL UNIX socket location... /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
checking for inline... (cached) inline
.....

Hence, why is that when I do phpinfo() , mySQL still doesn't show up?

I suspect that mysql isn't working correctly with php, because if I use
the mysql_connect() function in my php, I get the error "Fatal error: Call
to undefined function: mysql_connect() "
and yet it DOES seem like PHP recognizes mysql is there.

That "unable to recognize mysql_connect function" error comes up after
installing PHP using ./configure with or without any parameters.

Seeking Resources On Mysql, Not Mysql.com
I'm looking for some resources that can aid me in getting deeper into
php/mysql.
I am presently looking at a syntax that lets me check a mysql row for one
particular value, using sql.
Then I look for a sql based solution to get a column name based on the above
value.
Last I need to update that row, actually NULL that particular field in that
particular row.

I've been reading mysql.com the function list all afternoon, nothing found
that might make it able for me to write those statements in question.
So now I better expand and seek new sources, google.com didn't give me much
while searching the groups.

Migrate Old Mysql DB To New Mysql Server
I am trying to migrate our old mysql DB to another new mysql server using AB: MySQL Migration Tool. The migration has some problem.

One of the tables from the old DB had a column defined Datatype as DATE. However, when I do migration. The migration informs me that " The following error occured while transfering data from log Cannot convert value '0000-00-00' from column 13 to TIMESTAMP."

I believe the migration forces to convert the datatype into timestamp. The work around i can do on this is to change the datatype of the column on the old DB into Timestamp. However, I don't want that. I want to retain the DATE datatype.

How To Compare 2 Dates In Mysql As Mysql Treats Dates As String ?
I'm trying to compare two dates in MYSQL. But its not treating the dates as numbers, but as strings. I try using strtotime but that did not work.

MySQL? XML? XML And MySQL? SQLite?!
I've been using PHP for a while now and I'm beginning to migrate to
PHP5. So far, I'm impressed.

I need to develop an admin application to enable users to update a
website that is built on a MySQL database. In most cases, I'd simply
develop an application to manipulate the database but as the website is
updated fairly infrequently, I am considering a number of further
options instead to alleviate server load.

I am considering retaining the MySQL database for structure and building
scripts to generate XML from the data that can be processed and
transformed server-side (XSLT). Another option is SQLite. And yet
another approach is to generate static HTML pages from the database when
it needs to be updated or published.

MYSQL To WEB
What I want is for people to be able to come to a page put in an id number and all their information pop up on the screen, then maybe even have then be able to edit it, can anyone help or tell me where to look.

PHP/MySQL
I've got a petition database running from MySQL and i want to display the entries or "signatures" on a page with a limit of 100 signatures per page, creating links at the bottom of each page.

Say i had 243 signatures, I want the links at the bottom to look like this:

"1-100, 101-200, 201-243"

rather than:

"1-100, 101-200, 201-300" (Which is what i had working before)

I've done this code, but it's not working. Here is the code:

PHP, MySQL On IIS
I am running IIS, and i have php installed (and is working). I have installed MySQL onto the same pc, and i am running mysqladmin. If i want to run mysql commands in php should they work like this, or do i need to set up an odbc connection to the mysql server or something?

I am asking because currently what is happening is that i have IIS running along with MySQLadmin, and when i try to connect to the database it says it can't.
