PHP - Excel File

Hello Everyone,

I'm new to PHP and got a good big stuff.

I would like to write an image in excel file. There will be almost 600+ rows and each row will have url and qrcode image. I would like to write an excel file which will write url and respective image into the next cell of the url.

Is it possible to write an image in excel file? If yes, can anyone please guide me how? I have read so many post saying to use a pear package but again pear package is not allowing to write jpe/gif it only allows .bmp files. So, pear package is I don't think will work for me. I have also attached an example excel file which is showing the way I require to have an output.

Please anyone if having any idea guide me and let me know.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Looking forward to hear from you soon!

I have an excel file that has several columns with different data and I need to create a form that can upload this excel file and insert the data from the columns into its conrresponding data columns in a mysql database. I know how to create the form but I have no idea how to get the file and tell it to input each cell of data into its corresponding field in the mysql database. Does anyone know how to do this? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

what I am trying to do is use this php script to load the data being submitted in the html form into my database and then populate the database into an excel (xls) file and then e-mail it to my address.
 
Everything works great it populates into the database and creates the xls file perfect. But it is wanting me to download the file. What can I add to the script to have it e-mail the file to my e-mail address INSTEAD of downloading it.

Hi Guys....

I need to export data into excel file. So far its works on IE and Firefox. But if i using Google Chrome it download only php file. Eg(suppose file test.xls but it goes to test.php). 

Why it happen??

I need some help and hopefully will respond. I'm trying to put some information to the second row of the excel sheet once extracted. Can somebody help me with this script? I'm trying to move the address line to the second row. Thanks.

Hi All,

I am trying to export a table into excel and it is working, kind of..

I'm trying to import data that has commas in it.  Unfortunately, it looks like this "PHP to CVS" process is comma delimited.

How can I get around that, while having the data in the correct columns?

Here is my code:
Code: [Select]
$file = 'Notes_Export';
$csv_output = '';


$sql = "SHOW COLUMNS FROM prop_notes WHERE Field IN ('note', 'created_by', 'created_on', 'updated_by', 'updated_on')";
$result = mysqli_query($connect, $sql);

$i = 0;
if (mysqli_num_rows($result) > 0)
{
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result))
{
$csv_output .= $row['Field'].", ";
$i++;
}
}

$csv_output .= "\n";

$sql = "SELECT note, created_by, created_on, updated_by, updated_on FROM prop_notes";
$values = mysqli_query($connect, $sql);

while($rowr = mysqli_fetch_row($values))
{
for ($j=0;$j<$i;$j++)
{
$csv_output .= $rowr[$j].", ";
}
$csv_output .= "\n";
}


$filename = $file."_".date("Y-m-d_H-i",time());
header("Content-type: application/vnd.ms-excel");
header("Content-disposition: csv" . date("Y-m-d") . ".csv");
// header( "Content-disposition: filename=".$filename.".csv");
header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=".$filename.".csv");
print $csv_output;
exit;

I need to parse xls files (Microsoft Excel). The option to tell the users who will be uploading the files to convert it to a more friendly format like XML or CSV is not an option (I know its unfortunately, though I have to make it so it parses those formats as well (fun is)). Users must be able to just save the file, and upload it as is. below is a link to a example xls file. So I am looking to see if there's anything native to php that will allow me to open and read xls formatted files quickly and efficiently and work with the values independently on a per row per column basis when outputting them. Or if there's a recommended library/class I can use that someone here can suggest. My biggest issue is I am on a time crunch so I need something I can work with quickly and efficiently all around. Any samples would be greatly appreciated.

Hi

I have a script which references a DB and then produces an XML output saved as XLS to then open in Excel.

This works an absolute dream in my dev environment using IE7 and in live using Firefox.

However my entire audience uses IE7 and this is where it breaks in the live environment.  For some reason, I cannot get the download to work.

I get a windows pop-up with an error on it - see attached.

If you need to see code, let me know which bit of code could possibly cause this, i.e. headers etc.

I've not posted code as there's loads of it and I can't understand why it works in dev in IE 7 but not in live, and works in Firefox in live.

I need a way of parsing Excel files.. both xls and xlsx in what seems to be various formats.. the concept of the way the expected sheets are to come in is with 2 tabs

first tab row one column one will be a single value.. second tab will be any number of values only 2 columns though. I had found one parser class that I could use but it was very limiting and for some reason didn't work when I saved a fresh file... whats the best class, or way of handling an excel file? is there anything out there freely avaliable to work with thats kept upto date? or that works?

Hi

I have a database set up using MySQL and want to be able to query this and then export to Excel using PHP.  I've had a look around on the web but a lot of what I'm reading is going over my head.  I don't have PEAR so can't use the ready made stuff. 

Basically, I want to be able to query the database, then export the arrays to an excel file and a pop up to appear asking the user to open / save / cancel (standard pop-up)

Anyone know of any good places to start looking for the information for this?

Sorry, I'm new to all this so any help / pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers
