Trying to convert the following working code to PDO, the problem I am running into are the custom headings set in the fputcsv($output,array)
. I really want to move away from all msql_ functions so I would greatly appreciate some help.
<?php
// output headers so that the file is downloaded rather than displayed
header('Content-Type: text/csv; charset=utf-8');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=collections.csv');
// create a file pointer connected to the output stream
$output = fopen('php://output', 'w');
//MySQL Connect
removed
// output the column headings
fputcsv($output, array('Title','InclusiveDates','CollectionID','LocationID','Content','RangeValue','Section','Shelf','Extent','ExtentUnitID'));
// fetch the data
$rows = mysql_query('SELECT
coll.title AS CollectionTitle,
coll.inclusivedates AS InclusiveDates,
coll.ID AS CollectionID,
collloc.LocationID,
collloc.Content,
collloc.RangeValue,
collloc.Section,
collloc.Shelf,
collloc.Extent,
collloc.ExtentUnitID
FROM tblCollections_Collections coll
JOIN tblCollections_CollectionLocationIndex collloc
ON collloc.CollectionID = coll.id
ORDER BY coll.ID');
// loop over the rows, outputting them
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($rows)) fputcsv($output, $row);
?>
I have gotten this far, without getting it to work. The problem here is that I am not able to set custom column names in the CSV file and it also does not export to a CSV.
<?php
$conn = removed
$query = "SELECT
coll.title AS CollectionTitle,
coll.inclusivedates AS InclusiveDates,
coll.ID AS CollectionID,
collloc.LocationID,
collloc.Content,
collloc.RangeValue,
collloc.Section,
collloc.Shelf,
collloc.Extent,
collloc.ExtentUnitID
FROM tblCollections_Collections coll
JOIN tblCollections_CollectionLocationIndex collloc
ON collloc.CollectionID = coll.id
ORDER BY coll.ID";
$stmt = $conn->prepare($query);
// Execute the statement
$stmt->execute();
var_dump($stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC));
$data = fopen('file.csv', 'w');
$header = array();
while ($row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC))
{
if(empty($header)){ // do it only once!
$header = array_keys($row); // get the columnnames
fputcsv($data, $header); // put them in csv
}
echo "Success";
// Export every row to a file
fputcsv($data, $row);
}
?>
Here's what I came up with, it appears to work just as the original one. If you have any concerns please let me know, it works as intended and I got rid of the mysql_ functions.
<?php
header('Content-Type: text/csv; charset=utf-8');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=collections.csv');
try {
$conn = removed
}
catch(PDOException $e)
{
echo $e->getMessage();
}
$sql = "SELECT
coll.title AS CollectionTitle,
coll.inclusivedates AS InclusiveDates,
coll.ID AS CollectionID,
collloc.LocationID,
collloc.Content,
collloc.RangeValue,
collloc.Section,
collloc.Shelf,
collloc.Extent,
collloc.ExtentUnitID
FROM tblCollections_Collections coll
JOIN tblCollections_CollectionLocationIndex collloc
ON collloc.CollectionID = coll.id
ORDER BY coll.ID";
$results = $conn->query($sql);
// Pick a filename and destination directory for the file
// Remember that the folder where you want to write the file has to be writable
$filename = "collections.csv";
// Actually create the file
// The w+ parameter will wipe out and overwrite any existing file with the same name
$handle = fopen('php://output', 'w');
// Write the spreadsheet column titles / labels
fputcsv($handle, array('Title','InclusiveDates','CollectionID','LocationID','Content','RangeValue','Section','Shelf','Extent','ExtentUnitID'));
// Write all the user records to the spreadsheet
foreach($results as $row)
{
fputcsv($handle, array($row['CollectionTitle'], $row['InclusiveDates'], $row['CollectionID'], $row['LocationID'], $row['Content'], $row['RangeValue'], $row['Section'], $row['Shelf'], $row['Extent'], $row['ExtentUnitID']));
}
// Finish writing the file
fclose($handle);
?>
