Hello.
I've been learning a bit of PHP for a small school project. The project is almost done just that 1 thing is missing. I need a way to output something I searched into CSV / Excel.
I found a script which im using currently. It works beautifully I just can't figure out how to create a search form for it.
<?php
$DB_Server = "localhost"; //MySQL Server
$DB_Username = "root"; //MySQL Username
$DB_Password = ""; //MySQL Password
$DB_DBName = "database"; //MySQL Database Name
$DB_TBLName = "table"; //MySQL Table Name
$filename = "search"; //File Name
//create MySQL connection
$sql = "Select column1, column2 , ... from $DB_TBLName";
$Connect = @mysql_connect($DB_Server, $DB_Username, $DB_Password) or die("Couldn't connect to MySQL:<br>" . mysql_error() . "<br>" . mysql_errno());
//select database
$Db = @mysql_select_db($DB_DBName, $Connect) or die("Couldn't select database:<br>" . mysql_error(). "<br>" . mysql_errno());
//execute query
$result = @mysql_query($sql,$Connect) or die("Couldn't execute query:<br>" . mysql_error(). "<br>" . mysql_errno());
$file_ending = "xls";
//header info for browser
header("Content-Type: application/xls");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$filename.xls");
header("Pragma: no-cache");
header("Expires: 0");
/*******Start of Formatting for Excel*******/
//define separator (defines columns in excel & tabs in word)
$sep = "\t"; //tabbed character
//start of printing column names as names of MySQL fields
for ($i = 0; $i < mysql_num_fields($result); $i++) {
echo mysql_field_name($result,$i) . "\t";
}
print("\n");
//end of printing column names
//start while loop to get data
while($row = mysql_fetch_row($result))
{
$schema_insert = "";
for($j=0; $j<mysql_num_fields($result);$j++)
{
if(!isset($row[$j]))
$schema_insert .= "NULL".$sep;
elseif ($row[$j] != "")
$schema_insert .= "$row[$j]".$sep;
else
$schema_insert .= "".$sep;
}
$schema_insert = str_replace($sep."$", "", $schema_insert);
$schema_insert = preg_replace("/\r\n|\n\r|\n|\r/", " ", $schema_insert);
$schema_insert .= "\t";
print(trim($schema_insert));
print "\n";
}
?>Thats what im using currently. I want to be able to search, for example - ID1,ID2,ID3 and it outputs the search into a csv or excel file.
I really hope someone knows what im trying to do.
Thank you.
