e-mailing exported sql tables in excel file format

[agon024]

what I am trying to do is use this php script to load the data being submitted in the html form into my database and then populate the database into an excel (xls) file and then e-mail it to my address.

 

Everything works great it populates into the database and creates the xls file perfect. But it is wanting me to download the file. What can I add to the script to have it e-mail the file to my e-mail address INSTEAD of downloading it.

 

<?php

define('DB_NAME', 'database');
define('DB_USER', 'username');
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password');
define('DB_HOST', 'hostname');

$link = mysql_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD);
	if (!$link)	  
		{
			die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());  
			}	

$db_selected = mysql_select_db(DB_NAME, $link);

if (!$db_selected) {
die('Can\'t use ' . DB_NAME . ': ' . mysql_error());
}

$value1 = $_POST['groupname'];
$value2 = $_POST['name'];
$value3 = $_POST['address'];
$value4 = $_POST['city'];
$value5 = $_POST['state'];
$value6 = $_POST['zip'];
$value7 = $_POST['homephone'];
$value8 = $_POST['cellphone'];
$value9 = $_POST['email'];
$value10 = $_POST['age'];
$value11 = $_POST['maritalstatus'];
$value12 = $_POST['income'];
$value13 = $_POST['contact1'];
$value14 = $_POST['contact2'];
$value15 = $_POST['contact3'];
$value16 = $_POST['date1'];
$value17 = $_POST['date2'];
$value18 = $_POST['date3'];


$sql = "INSERT INTO clients (groupname, name, address, city, state, zip, homephone, cellphone, email, age, maritalstatus, income, contact1, contact2, contact3, date1, date2, date3) VALUES ('$value1', '$value2', '$value3', '$value4', '$value5', '$value6', '$value7', '$value8', '$value9', '$value10', '$value11', '$value12', '$value13', '$value14', '$value15', '$value16', '$value17', '$value18')";

if (!mysql_query($sql)) {
die('Error: ' . mysql_error());
}

mysql_close();

mysql_connect('hostname', 'username', 'password');
mysql_select_db('database');

$sql = "SELECT

Thanks for any help

Instead of using echo, store everything in a variable and then use a mailer class like PHPMailer or SwiftMailer to send that as an attachment.

$xlsFile = "";

//insert your code

//using SwiftMailer as an example
require_once 'swiftmailer/lib/swift_required.php';
$attachment = Swift_Attachment::newInstance($xlsFile, 'file.xls', 'application/vnd.ms-excel');
$transport = Swift_MailTransport::newInstance(); //using php's mail()
$mailer = Swift_Mailer::newInstance($transport);
$message = Swift_Message::newInstance('Wonderful Subject')
  ->setFrom(array('john@doe.com' => 'John Doe'))
  ->setTo(array('receiver@domain.org', 'other@domain.org' => 'A name'))
  ->setBody('Here is the message itself')
  ->attach($attachment);
$result = $mailer->send($message);

//append to variable instead of echo
function xlsBOF() {
global $xlsFile;
$xlsFile .= pack("ssssss", 0x809, 0x8, 0x0, 0x10, 0x0, 0x0);
}

//repeat for other functions

Get rid of all the header() calls if you want the browser to stop prompting you to download it.
