Having some issues with outputting my table data as an array.
In the code below I am outputting the column titles of my table into an
excel spreadsheet. I get the column titles just fine in Excel.
if($numberFields) { // Check if we need to output anything
$types = ifx_fieldtypes($query);
if (isset($types)) {
foreach($types as $field_name[] => $data_type) {
}
}
$headers = join(',', $field_name)."\n"; // Make our first row in the CSV
After that I am pulling all of the column data to place under it's
respective title.
Uncommenting the print_r($info); below does display all of the data for each
column correctly. However, after I run my foreach loop and output the report
to Excel all I get is empty rows/columns where the data should be...on the
bright side I get the exact number of empty rows that my query should
return.
Any ideas why the data isn't populating? If I change $row[] =
parseCSVComments($info->$fieldName); to $row[] = parseCSVComments($info); I
get "Array" printed out in every cell.
while($info = ifx_fetch_row($query)) {
//print_r($info);
foreach($field_name as $fieldName) { // Loop through the array of headers
as we fetch the data
$row[] = parseCSVComments($info->$fieldName);
} // End loop
$data .= join(',', $row)."\n"; // Create a new row of data and append it
to the last row
$row = ''; // Clear the contents of the $row variable to start a new row
}
// Start our output of the CSV
header("Content-type: application/x-msdownload");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=data.csv");
header("Pragma: no-cache");
header("Expires: 0");
echo $headers.$data;
}
Thanks,
Dan
<?php
while($info = ifx_fetch_row($query)) {
//print_r($info);
// Initialize/clear the contents of the $row variable
$row = array();
// You probably need to reset the $field_name var with each
// iteration over it. from what I understand, foreach will move
// the internal pointer of the array to the end. Then the next
// iteration over the array will start at the end. BAD!!!
reset($field_name);
// Loop through the array of headers as we fetch the data
foreach($field_name as $fieldName) {
// From the manual: ifx_fetch_row returns an associative array
$row[] = parseCSVComments($info[$fieldName]);
} // End loop
// Create a new row of data and append it to the last row
$data .= join(',', $row)."\n";
} // End while
?>
BTW: what are you doing, if anything, if your data has a comma in it?
