Poulating an Excel .csv file rather as well as MySQL

[kona72]

Hi There,

I am very new to this and have what may be a ridiculous question. Is there a way to have info populate both the MySQL table and an Excel .csv sheet? I know that I can go into PhpMyadmin and dump the data but this seems to be a bit cumbersome.

Thanks So Much!!

Yes, you can write PHP code to save the data in a CSV file, but you'd need a little knowledge about CSV files and how they are formatted. They're surprisingly not very difficult.

Thanks for the reply...

Do you know of any good tutorials or examples for this particular technique??

Thanks :o

Check out google. I don't know of any tutorials. You'll need to know how to write files. Then you'll need to know how CSV files are formatted. Then its a matter of mixing the two ideas together.
