PHP - Write Image In Excel File Using Php

Hi all,

Does anyone know of a way of extracting/reading images from an excel file using PHP?

This seems great (http://phpexcel.codeplex.com/) but I can't see a way of reading images from excel files.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

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??

<?php
$a = 2;
$b = 3;
$z = fopen("test.txt", 'a+');
if($a > $b)
  {
  echo "A is bigger than B";
  }
  elseif fwrite($z, $b);
fclose($z);
?>


is there a way to get elseif to write to a file?

so if b is bigger than a it writes $b to a file?

Got a little stuck here.

I'm trying to format an existing .txt file, format it and then write it to .sql file.

Here's my code:

Code: [Select]
$handle = @fopen("nations.txt", "r");
if ($handle) {
    while (($buffer = fgets($handle, 1024)) !== false) {

                      $column = explode("|",$buffer); // format file
                        $myFile = "nation_dump_".date("Y-m-d").".sql"; // create file
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'w') or die("can't open file");

foreach($column as $col)
{
fwrite($fh, $col[0]); //write the first broken segment from explode() to file
}
fclose($fh);
    }
    if (!feof($handle)) {
        echo "Error: unexpected fgets() fail\n";
    }
    fclose($handle);
}

The error is on this line, within the foreach loop.
fwrite($fh, $col[0]);

When I removed the index it only wrote the last line to the file, but I want it to loop through all the lines..

What am I doing wrong here?

eg

http://www.xxxxxxx.com/index.php?action=viewarti&artid=5

How can I write the content of this link into file.

I produce a series of php variables in a php strict (mostly come from mysql), and I want to save them as a php file. To be use for "include". What is the safest way to write them in a php file?

I tried to save them in the manner of saving a text file with fwrite as

Code: [Select]
$data='<?php $cat=array('array created in the text'); $string='some value';?>';
$fh = fopen("file.php", 'w');
fwrite($fh, $data);
Now, file.php is a normal php file and I can call it with "include"; but the problem is that this method is not safe. For example, if the string is "There's something", php gives error for the presence of ' in the string. I can skip ' and " by backslash; but this method is costy, as I need to perform this process for all strings to be saved. Moreover, there might be other source of errors too (that I have not encountered yet).

Is there a safe way for writing a php code to file?
