I'd would like to be able to export the names of my table columns into a .csv file along with my query results. I have found a few examples using mysql_, but I was hoping someone could help me out as I am trying to use PDOs. The data from $sql exports just fine, but I can't get the column names to export as the first row.
<?php
header("Content-type: text/csv");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=brewlog.csv");
header("Pragma: no-cache");
header("Expires: 0");
//Database Connection
include"connect.php";
//Assign variables from POST
$beer = $_POST['beer'];
//SQL Query for Data
$sql = "SELECT * FROM brewlog WHERE Beer = :beer ORDER BY BrewDate DESC";
//Prepare Query, Bind Parameters, Excute Query
$STH = $DBH->prepare($sql);
$STH->bindParam(':beer', $beer);
$STH->execute();
//Get Column Names for Header
$STMT = $DBH->query('SELECT COLUMN_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = \'database\' AND TABLE_NAME = \'my_table\'');
$header = $STMT->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_NUM);
//Export to .CSV
$fp = fopen('php://output', 'w');
fputcsv($fp,$header);
while ($row = $STH->fetch(PDO::FETCH_NUM)) fputcsv($fp,$row);
fclose($fp);
?>
You don't have to query the information_schema.
Just fetch the row as an associative array and output the keys before you output the data:
$row = $STH->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
if ($row) {
fputcsv($fp,array_keys($row));
while ($row) {
fputcsv($fp, $row);
$row = $STH->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
}
}
