In a wordpress woocommerce installation I need to export some custom order fields to a csv file. Everything works fine, only I don't get the right content in the downloaded file.
Here is my code:
function array_to_csv_download($array, $filename = "export.csv", $delimiter=";") {
header('Content-Type: text/csv');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.$filename.'"');
$output = fopen( get_temp_dir() . $filename, 'w');
foreach ($array as $line) {
fputcsv( $output, $line );
}
fclose($output);
}
The array is something like
$array = array(
array('Head1', 'Head2', 'Head3', 'Head4'),
array('Data1', 'Data2', 'Data3', 'Data4'),
array('Data5', 'Data6', 'Data7', 'Data8')
);
The function is located on a custom admin page, and is triggered by a submit button.
When I press the button, a csv file is generated and written to the temp folder, named as $filename. That file works fine.
The file, which is downloaded automatically, forced by the second header entry in the function, is named correctly ($filename), but the content is the source code of that custom admin page.
I don't need that file to be stored in the temp folder, it's only for now until the automatic download works. I tried to put 'php://temp' or 'php://output' in the fopen function, but that didn't change the content of the download file.
What am I missing?
$data = array(
array("firstname" => "Mary", "lastname" => "Johnson", "age" => 25),
array("firstname" => "Amanda", "lastname" => "Miller", "age" => 18),
array("firstname" => "James", "lastname" => "Brown", "age" => 31),
array("firstname" => "Patricia", "lastname" => "Williams", "age" => 7),
array("firstname" => "Michael", "lastname" => "Davis", "age" => 43),
array("firstname" => "Sarah", "lastname" => "Miller", "age" => 24),
array("firstname" => "Patrick", "lastname" => "Miller", "age" => 27)
);
function cleanData(&$str)
{
$str = preg_replace("/\t/", "\\t", $str);
$str = preg_replace("/?
/", "\
", $str);
if(strstr($str, '"')) $str = '"' . str_replace('"', '""', $str) . '"';
}
// file name for download
$filename = "website_data_" . date('Ymd') . ".csv";
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$filename\"");
header("Content-Type: application/vnd.csv");
$flag = false;
foreach($data as $row) {
if(!$flag) {
// display field/column names as first row
echo implode("\t", array_keys($row)) . "
";
$flag = true;
}
array_walk($row, 'cleanData');
echo implode("\t", array_values($row)) . "
";
}
exit;
