I am trying to export data from a MySQL table as a CSV which my client needs to email away on a regular basis.
This is what my PHP file contains:
require('db.php');
// output headers so that the file is downloaded rather than displayed
header('Content-Type: text/csv; charset=utf-8');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=stoneleigh.csv');
// create a file pointer connected to the output stream
$output = fopen('php://output', 'w');
// output the column headings
fputcsv($output, array('CLUB NAME', 'NUMBER', 'TITLE', 'TYPE', 'FORENAME', 'SURNAME', 'ADDRESS1', 'ADDRESS2', 'ADDRESS3', 'ADDRESS4', 'POSTCODE', 'PHONE', 'EMAIL', 'MOBILE'));
//create query
$sql = "SELECT Club_Name,BHS,Title,Type,Forename,Surname,Address1,Address2,Address3,Address4,Postcode,Phone,Email,Mobile FROM tvrc_members WHERE Current = '1'";
$rows = $conn->query($sql);
// loop over the rows, outputting them
while ($row = fetch_assoc($rows)) {fputcsv($output, $row);}
require('foot.php');
Unfortunately when I link to my PHP file, it downloads a CSV file that only contains the column headers and no actual data below, any help appreciated. Thanks.
As per @berend comment, I changed my last line to
while ($row = $rows->fetch_assoc()) {fputcsv($output, $row);}
and this works.
