Delete From Db If Not In Excel File
A while back I had written a script for a client who had wanted to upload an excel file for his clients that contained their inventory information. I had it set so everytime he would upload the file it would check the information in the file against that already stored in the db.
If a row in the db contained a certain field like an account number. It would make any changes that were made to that field or if none were made it would leave it be. If there were any new rows in the file it would upload those. Code:

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.

Csv File Gives Errors In Excel?
Ive created a script that generates a csv file on the webserver, whereafter the user can download it, in order to open it in Excel. Excel gives the following error: 1) cannot read record 1 2) File myfile.csv is not a valid SYLK format. I really don't know whats wrong. The first 3 rows look like this of the csv file look like this: ID;Relationname;City;Article;Period;Startdate;Amount;Price;Total;Interval 1300;Restaurant BeauBeaty;London;LTP1;quater;01-08-1999;1;12.50;300.00;200308-200507 1303;Café Blue moon;Leeds;LTP1;year;01-08-1999;1;0.00;358.80;200308-200507 Anyone a clue why Excel doesnt want to read this?

Hyperlink To An Excel File
I have a hyperlink to an Excel spreadsheet but I'm having a bit of trouble with it. My first problem was that IE6 integrates Excel into the IE window when you click an Excel link. I overcame that by having a dummy Excel file run that had VBA code to launch the real application in a new window. That's probably too much info, but there it is. Moving on. My problem is the users will be opening up this VBA Excel application of mine from our Intranet. When they click on the link, the dummy Excel file runs, that in turn launches the real application and all is well and good. Except for one thing. When the user is done or goes back to the IE Intranet window where they launched the application, this is the error that is displayed: The page cannot be displayed: The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your browser settings. My two solutions were to either have the link do two things simulatenously. You would click on the app link and it would run the application and it would also reload the Intranet home page. My second solution was to have them click the link and then it would go back to the previous page they were on all in the same click procedure/event/whatever. Code:

EXCEL File Up/download Management
I need to make a PHP script where you can: Download a file and at the same time make it impossible for other to download the same file before it has been uploaded and released by the 'uploader' again. In this way you can secure that only one can make changes to the file at a time. I have tried several uploader/downloader and file manager PHP scripts - but none has the above described functionality. - The file, which needs to be uploaded/downloaded, is an EXCEL file. - An issue is determining whether or not someone is already downloading the file. - An other issue is how to regulate that only the 'one' who has downloaded the EXCEL file is also allowed to (modify and) upload it again. You might have a person, which has an old version of the EXCEL file, which just try to upload without knowing that another person has downloaded the file in the meantime.

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.

They want people to be able to select options for a car, like a "Build a Car" kind of deal like you see on car sites. They want it to output to an Excel file that looks like a specific format that they like with all the data that the people selected. I am sure you can output the form variables to a MySql Database, and then the database to an excel sheet. But I just don't get the details, like how to make the excel sheet adhere to a certain visual formatting, as well how to make each individual car go to one excel sheet.

Force Download Excel File
I have the script working fine. But if a variable that does into a cell is only digits and has initial zeros, as in a zip-code such as "00123", then excel "assumes" it's a nmuber, and chops off those zeros. The data sent to excel all has quotes around it, and I just can't figure out how to avoid this other than to add a letter to that field, but a zip code of "x00123" just isn't the best-looking solution. I've tried opening up the file directly via excel, using different file options, no go. Anyone run into this before and figure out a workaround?
