Exporting To Excel

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 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?

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?

Passing Form Data To An Email Address/Excel Sheet On A Local Computer
I am right now learning PHP & want to know if there is a way to send
web form data to an Excel sheet located on a network. My windows xp PC
doesnot have a copy of Excel. Also i am not connected to the internet,
its a local computer.

What i am trying to do is to make a PHP script which will send a simple
form data to an excel sheet (or create a new Excel sheet) on another PC
on a network.

Since i am not connected to the internet, i will not be able to send an
email (anyway, sendmail is not available on Windows OS), nor do i have
any server on windows.

my PC is a local PC. Some one was saying its possible thru Windows
Scheduler.

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.

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:

Comparing Form Data To Mysql Data
Im interested in building a script that would take form data, a variable like an address, and compare it with a known address in a mysql table (called addresses), then if there is a match log the address information in a separate table called (addresslog), and return the visitor to a certain page. If there is no match between the address entered in the form and known addresses then the information is still logged into the addresslog database but the visitor will be sent to a different page.

I'm still new to this, and am working through the logic and the syntax, but I believe I'm close. It's still not working, I have all of the proper tables, maybe I'm way off with the coding so I thought I would seek out some expert advice. Here's the entire script with as much explanation as I could give. PHP Code:

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

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...

Getting Data From Mysql To Put Into Form
i am trying to set up a page that will allow the user to select a name from a list. The details of this name(ie, last name,address, job etc) are then taken from a database and put into a form. If any changes are needed the user makes them then presses a submit to update the database.

I can get the information out of the database and into the form fields but i have one small problem...

In the address field i can only get the first part of the address...
ie

if the address is 123 Sample Street

only 123 gets put into the form field.

How do i get the rest of the address to appear?

i am sure it is quite simple but cant quite put my finger on the answer!

my code is:

Address: <input type="Text" name="address" value =<?php echo $myrow["address"] ?>><br>

where $myrow is the array holding the results from my database query.

Any help would be appreciated!

Web Form Data To MySQL DB
I pulled this script off of an MySQL article from the MySQL website itself. I adjusted it to my needs and I could connect to the DB, it could find the proper table, but it doesn't enter the data into the database table. So I pulled the original script off in hand, created the DB and table it had listed and still the same problem... it can't connect. Here's the script: Code:

Posting PDF Form Data To MySQL
I am working on a script that will take information submitted from a pdf form and store the field data to a given mySQL table. I just cant figure out what is wrong with my script. I am able to get the data from the pdf form, and set it as a variable so I can work with it in php. It is displaying the proper data when I echo() it, and I get no mySQL errors. It looks like everything should work, but when I check my database, nothing has been updated....

Form Validate Against MySQL Data
Was just wondering where you would start if you wanted to validate against MySQL data. In this case, validate a username and password from a form against a username and password in a MySQL database.

Also, how do you make it so that when you have a 'password' form field on a document, the letters don't show up? It shows up as *****.. is that some type of encryption??

One more thing, how would I go about 'turning off' or 'closing down' a sign-up page once the sign-ups have reached 32 users?

Reading MySQL Data In A Form Field
i am in the process of building an admin page for a site. Most of my site data is being held in MySQL and being pulled using PHP. The problem I have is while trying to build an Admin form to change data in MySQL, I want to have the data that is currently in the table be automatically put into the form field, so they can see what they are changing before they change it, or so if they do nothing it keeps the same data in it. My code is as follows:

Form To Insert Mysql Row *and* POST Data
I'm reasonably new to PHP and after searching all over the place can't find anything useful

I need to insert some variables into a mysql row and then POST variables to another web page using the same form

I don't have any problems inserting just mysql rows or making html forms to post separately, I just don't know where to start to get the one form to do both.

Sending Data Form A Vb Program To A Mysql DB

the server, but I'm not sure.

Show Data From Excel File
My clients want to upload some excel file and want to view data in their site from those excel files. They may update the excel files regularly and the content of the dynamic page should be changed according to the excel files.

Is there any way to connect excel files using php? I'm planning to store the data of excel files into mysql database when they upload the files from browser's interface.

Data Download From PHP/MSSQL To Excel
I have a webpage that displays data from a SQL database in table
format. I found information on how to create a way to allow a user to
download this information to Excel using 'Header()' in the PHP code.

Header("Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel");
Header("Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename="filename.xls"");

I setup a link on the display page that sends the variables needed for
the SQL query to a different PHP page and the link is targeted to a
bogus target window (target="excel") so that it doesn't change my
current display. This is meant for people who find the proper display
they want and then want to save it but also want to continue display
other data in the current window.

If the user clicks the link it then opens a browser window and prompts
the user with the typical IE download prompts, which is fine. But if
the user chooses to 'Save' the file to his/her pc and then goes
through the steps to save it, the browser window that was opened
doesn't automatically close. If the user chooses to open the .xls or
chooses to cancel the download, then the browser window closes just
fine.

Can Php And Mysql Process Stored Form Data Created Offline?
A customer of mine has given me a task that has me stumped...

My customer meets with his new clients away from his office with a laptop. At his office he is running a redhat server, apache, php, mysql....the usual stuff. His laptop has windows xp.

When he meets with the new client, he wants to fill in a from and have the data stored on his laptop. After returning to the office he would like to upload via his web app (php/mysql based) the new client data into his database. Basically:

fill in form offline ---> return to office and connect to web app ---> upload and review stored form data ---> process new client data into database

Where do I begin? How do your create the form? How would you process the form? What's the simplest way to process the data into the database? I'm sure I'm missing a few questions here.

Displaying Data From Mysql Database In A Drop Down List On Form.
I'm trying to do is display data from two different mysql tables from the same database in a drop down list on a html form.

How To Format Data In A File Which Will Be Open In Excel?
I am trying to generate a file with php from a database extract that i would like to be open in excel.

What i need is to format the content of the file in CSV i guess. The 'fgetcsv()' can do the job by formating the content of an existing file.

Is there an other option than to create a file with my database content, save it on the server and open/format it with 'fgetcsv()'?

Dumping Data To Excel Via Https And Ie6 Broken
I thought I would contribute a solution for once.

We have a standard SUSE LAMP (Linux Apache Mysql PHP) server running
some custom apps, of which one component is dumping reports out to
excel. We are running this with https and all was good for a few
months. IE6 and Firefox worked fine. One day around the end of July
2005, IE6 stops doing the excel part.. Excel errors out with a "Could
not open 'https://blah.com?report.php'" . Firefox continues to work
fine. It turns out something has changed in an IE update from
Microsoft that breaks the old method we employed to launch excel and
feed it the data stream. This php code below contains the new headers
which now make this work for us again. Firefox continues to work
flawlessly with the new headers also!

<?
header("Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=report.xls");
header('Cache-Control: private, must-revalidate');
header('Pragma: private'); // allow private caching
header("Last-Modified: " . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s") . " GMT");
session_cache_limiter("private, must-revalidate"); // allow private
?>

BTW, we are using PHP 4.x and apache 1.3.x

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.

Php , Mysql And Excel
