Hi, our client would like to be able to export there database in an excel format when they log onto a secure page. Below is the code I have at the moment which works but when I save or open the excel document there is no data in the document. I got the code off of a tutorial on the internet.
Any help will be appreciated!
<?php
//EDIT YOUR MySQL Connection Info:
$DB_Server = ""; //your MySQL Server
$DB_Username = ""; //your MySQL User Name
$DB_Password = "z"; //your MySQL Password
$DB_DBName = ""; //your MySQL Database Name
$DB_TBLName = ""; //your MySQL Table Name
//$DB_TBLName, $DB_DBName, may also be commented out & passed to the browser
//as parameters in a query string, so that this code may be easily reused for
//any MySQL table or any MySQL database on your server
//DEFINE SQL QUERY:
//you can use just about ANY kind of select statement you want -
//edit this to suit your needs!
$sql = "Select * from $DB_TBLName";
//Optional: print out title to top of Excel or Word file with Timestamp
//for when file was generated:
//set $Use_Titel = 1 to generate title, 0 not to use title
$Use_Title = 1;
//define date for title: EDIT this to create the time-format you need
$now_date = date('m-d-Y H:i');
//define title for .doc or .xls file: EDIT this if you want
$title = "Dump For Table $DB_TBLName from Database $DB_DBName on $now_date";
/*
Leave the connection info below as it is:
just edit the above.
(Editing of code past this point recommended only for advanced users.)
