PHP Array to CSV
- by JohnnyFaldo
I'm trying to convert an array of products into a CSV file, but it doesn't seem to be going to plan. The CSV file is one long line, here is my code:
for($i=0;$i<count($prods);$i++) {
$sql = "SELECT * FROM products WHERE id = '".$prods[$i]."'";
$result = $mysqli->query($sql);
$info = $result->fetch_array();
}
$header = '';
for($i=0;$i<count($info);$i++)
{
$row = $info[$i];
$line = '';
for($b=0;$b<count($row);$b++)
{
$value = $row[$b];
if ( ( !isset( $value ) ) || ( $value == "" ) )
{
$value = "\t";
}
else
{
$value = str_replace( '"' , '""' , $value );
$value = '"' . $value . '"' . "\t";
}
$line .= $value;
}
$data .= trim( $line ) . "\n";
}
$data = str_replace( "\r" , "" , $data );
if ( $data == "" )
{
$data = "\n(0) Records Found!\n";
}
header("Content-type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=your_desired_name.xls");
header("Pragma: no-cache");
header("Expires: 0");
print "$data";
Also, the header doesn't force a download. I've been copy and pasting the output and saving as .csv
