Write output to a txt file. Not csv or json just plan txt and I need to be to format the output

kat35601 · May 16, 2017

I have two queries that produce results that I need to write to a file. The file has requirements like customer should be 22 characters so if my customer number is 4567 then I will need to pad the other 18 characters with spaces to the right. So think I can do that but I don't know how to write the output to a file I have used fwrite() but can't seem to get it to print more than one line. I just need a point in the right direction. my code is without the fwrite()

/* write file */

$handle = fopen($my_file, 'w+') or die('Cannot open file: '.$my_file);

fwrite($handle, "$cit_cust_id");

fwrite($handle, "$record_type");

fwrite($handle, "name");

etc............

fclose($handle);*/

You need to write in a new line if you want multiple lines.

fwrite($handle, "\n");

You can use fprintf to handle formatting your fields if needed. For example to get your 22-character wide, left-aligned customer ID you'd do:

fprintf($handle, "%-22s", $customerNumber);

With fprintf you could write out all your fields in a single call with your new line at the end of the format string. Edited May 17, 2017 by kicken

A couple of question I have add the fprintf() to my code and I am getting output but I get a </td> in the file after the two items and on my screen output I get 22 and 30 at the bottom of the screen output that comes from

echo fprintf($handle, "%-22s", $record_type);

echo fprintf($handle,"%-30s",$name);

here I know this because if i change echo fprintf($handle,"%-30s",$name); to "%-31s" I then get 2231 on the screen

Thanks

echo fprintf($handle, "%-22s", $record_type);

If you don't want the "</td>" in the file output then DON'T put it in the variables

echo "<td>". $record_type= $row['customer']."</td>";
echo "<td>". $name =$row['name']."</td>";

Doing an assignment within an echo may "work" but it is not a good practice in any way. The assignment is setting the variable to everything that follows the equal sign until the semi-colon (indicating the end of a statement) is reached.

As to why you are getting the other two values at the bottom of the screen:

echo fprintf($handle, "%-22s", $record_type);
echo fprintf($handle,"%-30s",$name);

The fpringf() statements are to write to the file. So, what is the purpose of the echo?

There is just a lot here that doesn't make sense. Why, for example, are you running ltrim and rtrim on all the fields in the query? Values should be trimmed before storing them. But, if there is some legitimate reason not to, why not trim in the PHP code?

@kat35601 - Note that MySQL also has a trim() function which removes both leading and trailing spaces. More information can be found here:

Thanks for the help I have the output as i need it. I do have another question about how to add an sql update statement to update a transmission date is the sql table related to each orderID.

so I think I should add it to the sql2 while loop but I am not sure how.

Thanks for the help I am learning a lot.

The statement:


Update m1_kf.dbo.SalesOrders set uomptrans = 1 where ompSalesOrderID= $orderid

here is my code so far:
