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.

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?

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.

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?

Is PHP Able To Extract Data Out Of An Excel Spreadsheet?

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.

Download MySQL Data To Excel

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

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:

Would export to:

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?

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");

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?

Exporting MySQL Database To File Using PHP

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?

Excel PHP
I am using a set of functions that seem to be pretty common for using
an associative array to write data to an .XLS file. This work fine for
the most part, however I have problems writting a number to Excel on a

same PHP version (5.05). I have isolated the code to the following
function:

/**
* Excel worksheet cell insertion
* (single-worksheet supported only)
* @access private
* @param (int) $row worksheet row number
(0...65536)
* @param (int) $col worksheet column number
(0..255)
* @param (mixed) $val worksheet row number
*/
function _xlsWriteCell($row, $col, $val)
{
if (is_float($val) || is_int($val))
{
// doubles, floats, integers
$str = pack(str_repeat($this->bin[$this->endian], 5),
0x203, 14, $row, $col, 0x0);
$str .= pack("d", $val);
}
else
{
// everything else is treated as a string
$l = strlen($val);
$str = pack(str_repeat($this->bin[$this->endian], 6),
0x204, 8 + $l, $row, $col, 0x0, $l);
$str .= $val;
}
fwrite($this->fp, $str);
$this->position += strlen($str);
return strlen($str);.....
