PHP Export to CSV
- by Ali Hamra
I'm not really familiar with PHP exporting to excel or csv, but I'm using PHP MySQL for a local point of sale.
According to the code below, this actually works..But not in the way it should be ! All records are placed as 1 row inside the csv file, how can i fix that ? Also, How would I stop overwriting the same file...I mean When I click on a Button to export the csv, it should check if there is an existing csv file, If there is--Create new one !
Thank You
require_once('connect_db.php');
$items_array = array();
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM sold_items");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
$items_array[] = $row['item_no'];
$items_array[] = $row['qty'];
}
$f = fopen('C:/mycsv.csv', 'w');
fputcsv($f, $items_array);
fclose($f);
