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;
?>

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.

Using PHP To Sort Data In MySQL Table 1 By Values In Table 2
I have a MySQL database with 2 tables in it. products and prices.. Products has a field in it called 'prodno'. Prices has a field in it called 'prodid'.

There is one of each item in products and each product has it's own unique 'prodno'

There are multiple instances of each product's pricing in prices.. One for each price.. So if a product had multiple prices depending on quantity it would have an entry for each price.. Example:

id = 1
prodid = 7001
qty = 300
price = 12.5

id = 2
prodid = 7001
qty = 400
price = 15.5

I was wondering if I could query the database getting info from the products table but sort it according to the prices in the prices table.

Kinda like doing a "SELECT * FROM products" ordering it by the lowest price value from each item..

This is all very confusing to me, and I'm the one writing it. Let's try one last time..

Query the database selecting * from products (I plan on using all the info in products) and ordering them by the lowest price for each item in the prices table. I've tried sorting the results of just a basic SELECT * FROM products using Javascript and PHP but with pagination in the results it makes it a bit hard.

CSV Exporting
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

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

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("

if ($data == "") {
$data = "
(0) Records Found!
";
}
print "$header
$data";

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

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 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?

Getting Mysql Table Info?
Suppose I have a table with name 'tablename' in my database.

If I have no idea what are the contents of this table, is it still possible to retrieve the structural info in this table, like the field names and sizes?

Get Max Value In MySQL Table Field
I have a 2-field table "pageref".

The fields are: "pagerefno" - which is index and primary key, and "url".

I need to find the max value in "pagerefno", so wrote the following code:

$query ="SELECT max(pagerefno) FROM pageref";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die ("Error in query: $query. " .
mysql_error());
$row = mysql_fetch_row($result);
echo row[0];

But this results in a blank screen. I'd be grateful for a steer, here.

Search A MySQL Table
I want to create a php script to search a mySQL table. I started to create the script myself, but I got stuck, because the script became VERY complex. The reason why it's complex is this:

*the script must be able to search all four columns of the table.
if the user defines four different values to search (one for each type of variable (ie.: for each column)). If he doesn't give four values but by example only two, the script needs to search on these two values...

*the script needs to return all four values of all the rows that match the query

*the script may not return each result more than one time

*if possible, the script needs to return 'the best match' on top

examples:
consider a table with four columns:
animal_type |age | name | sex
horse | 5 |beauty| female
horse | 4 |bless |male
cat | 9 |***** |female

the query (horse,5,beauty,female) must return
horse | 5 |beauty| female (only one time!!! this sounds logic, but it isn't!!!)

the query(female) must return
horse | 5 |beauty| female
cat | 9 |***** |female

the query (horse, female) must return
1) horse | 5 |beauty| female
2) horse | 4 |bless |male
3) cat | 9 |***** |female
(number 1 must be on top; 2 and 3 may be changed of place, because they only match one variable!!)

Creating Mysql Table

PHP MySQL Updating Table Row

Here's the script I have to retrieve the database info and place them in the fields to edit (I didn't copy all the mysql connection script, it works fine): PHP Code:

How To Get A Field In The Last Row Of Mysql Table.

Table Dump With MySQL
I have recently moved from a host that provided only 1 mySQL db, to a host that allows multiple db's. How do I dump a table, or tables from the single db...into a new db(s)?

MySQL Table Create
Here is the code I'm trying to create the database with (I'm using phpMyAdmin so I just select the file I want to use and press submit and it creates the tables).

CREATE TABLE bips (
banned_ip varchar(15) NOT NULL);

CREATE TABLE messages (
entry_id double(16,4) DEFAULT Ɔ.0000' NOT NULL auto_increment,
name varchar(25) NOT NULL,
email varchar(35) NOT NULL,
icq int(11) NOT NULL,
http varchar(50) NOT NULL,
message mediumtext NOT NULL,
when int(12) NOT NULL,
ip varchar(15) NOT NULL,
UNIQUE entry_id (entry_id),
PRIMARY KEY (entry_id));

------------------------
phpMyAdmin gives me an error with that, (none of those tables exists btw)... the error is

PHP Variables From Mysql Table
I have a PHP script which parces a mySQL table and shows which
sections meet on which day by using an array containing (mon,...Fri)
and another lisitng sections. I then have the PHP do to selecrt
statements on to list those sections that are mixed and those that are
not.

I have a title "Open to Boys and Girls" then it cycles through the
applicable groups. I want to hide this title if there are no group
from the mysql search but can't figure out how as the actual varaible
$result is set once the search is done even if it pulls nothing back

Code is below,

CODE
-------------------------------------------
$result = @mysql_query("SELECT Group_Name FROM `groups` where
".$section."_comment like '%".$day."%' and ".$section."_comment like
'%mixed%'");
echo "<u>Open to Boys & Girls</u></br>";

$Group_Name = $row['Group_Name'];
echo "• ".$Group_Name."</br>";
}// end Group Name loop mixed
