php: Create CSV file

<?php $filename ="excelreport.csv"; $contents = "testdata1;testdata2;testdata3; \n"; header('Content-type: application/ms-excel'); header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='.$filename); echo $contents; ?>

I had given a similar example in another thread. Well, csv or excel, the procedure is the same.

Not bad, but try out my code

<?php header("Content-type: application/x-msdownload"); header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=extraction.csv"); header("Pragma: no-cache"); header("Expires: 0"); require_once( "db.php" ); $query = "SELECT * FROM name ORDER BY last"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error()); echo "ID,First,Middle,Last,Email\r\n"; //header while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){ echo "\"$row[id]\",\"$row[first]\",\"$row[middle]\",\"$row[last]\",\"$row[email]\"\r\n"; //data } ?>

May i know what is with the 'db.php'?
and what is the name of the database for the ORDER table??please help!:`(

I think the below code will help you..

i found it in website

// // establish database connection // $conn = mysql_connect( ‘MYSQL_HOST’, ‘MYSQL_USERNAME’, ‘MYSQL_PASSWORD’ ) or die( mysql_error( ) ); mysql_select_db( ‘MYSQL_DATABASE’, $conn ) or die( mysql_error( $conn ) ); // // execute sql query // $query = sprintf( ‘SELECT * FROM MYSQL_TABLE’ ); $result = mysql_query( $query, $conn ) or die( mysql_error( $conn ) ); // // send response headers to the browser // following headers instruct the browser to treat the data as a csv file called export.csv // header( ‘Content-Type: text/csv’ ); header( ‘Content-Disposition: attachment;filename=export.csv’ ); // // output header row (if atleast one row exists) // $row = mysql_fetch_assoc( $result ); if ( $row ) { echocsv( array_keys( $row ) ); } // // output data rows (if atleast one row exists) // while ( $row ) { echocsv( $row ); $row = mysql_fetch_assoc( $result ); } // // echocsv function // // echo the input array as csv data maintaining consistency with most CSV implementations // * uses double-quotes as enclosure when necessary // * uses double double-quotes to escape double-quotes // * uses CRLF as a line separator // function echocsv( $fields ) { $separator = ”; foreach ( $fields as $field ) { if ( preg_match( ‘/\\r|\\n|,|”/’, $field ) ) { $field = ‘”‘ . str_replace( ‘”‘, ‘”"‘, $field ) . ‘”‘; } echo $separator . $field; $separator = ‘,’; } echo “\r\n”; }

<?php $filename ="excelreport.csv"; $contents = "testdata1;testdata2;testdata3; \n"; header('Content-type: application/ms-excel'); header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='.$filename); echo $contents; ?>

I had given a similar example in another thread. Well, csv or excel, the procedure is the same.

php: Create CSV file..
I want to upload csv file.
So please advise me

You've necroposted to this thread. Your request is not related to creating a csv. Please start a new thread if you can't find a related thread from the Daniweb search.

You probably won't find an exact match as most files are uploaded to the server in the same ways. 2 main methods:

Form file field - thousands of tutorials about this online
FTP functions - see the PHP manual (php.net)
