Newbie csv problem

[emilyfrazier]

I am trying to export a csv file. There is a data display list from mySQL, and based on a drop-down the user can select to export CSV file. When this is chosen, here is my code:

[code]

if( $listAction && $listAction == "csv" ){ ?>
header("Content-type: text/x-csv");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=CMD_Members.csv");



print "Id, First Name, Last Name, Organization, Email Address, Package, Pay By, Date Modified, Status". "\n";

$row = 0;

foreach($_POST["all"] as $value){

$sql = "SELECT mbrID, fName, lName, org, email, mbr_pkg, payType, active_date, status FROM members where mbrID = '".$value."'";

// die($sql);
$rval = mysql_query($sql);
while ($data = mysql_fetch_assoc ($rval) ) {
++$row;

if($data["status"] == '0'){
$status = "Pending";
}elseif($data["status"] == '1'){
$status = "Activated";
}elseif($data["status"] == '2'){
$status = "Deactivated";}

print $data["mbrID"] . ",".$data["fName"] . ",". $data["lName"].",".$data["org"] . ",".$data["email"]. ",".$data["mbr_pkg"]. ",".$data["payType"].",".$data["active_date"].",".$status."\n";
}
}
}[/code]

Where the $_POST["all"] is referring to all of the records in the list. So when I do this, the file exports, opens in Excel with an error about my style sheet. It then brings in ALL of the source code into a small box at the top of the page, and then formats my results like they look in the browser display.

Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thanks,
Emily

Try removing the "?>" after "if( $listAction && $listAction == "csv" ){", see if that helps.

Also, if you are still having problems, remove the attachment header and change the content type header to be text/plain, then check the output to ensure that it is what you want.

[code]<?php
if( $listAction && $listAction == "csv" ) {
header("Content-type: text/x-csv");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=CMD_Members.csv");

print "Id, First Name, Last Name, Organization, Email Address, Package, Pay By, Date Modified, Status". "\n";
$row = 0;

foreach($_POST["all"] as $value){

$sql = "SELECT mbrID, fName, lName, org, email, mbr_pkg, payType, active_date, status FROM members where mbrID = '".$value."'";

$rval = mysql_query($sql);
while ($data = mysql_fetch_assoc($rval) ) {
++$row;

if($data["status"] == '0'){
$status = "Pending";
}elseif($data["status"] == '1'){
$status = "Activated";
}elseif($data["status"] == '2'){
$status = "Deactivated";
}

print $data["mbrID"] . ",".$data["fName"] . ",". $data["lName"].",".$data["org"] . ",".$data["email"]. ",".$data["mbr_pkg"]. ",".$data["payType"].",".$data["active_date"].",".$status."\n";
}
}
}
?>[/code]

Hi,

Thanks for the help. The bad ?> tag was just a bad copying by me; sorry about that.

So I tried all the options you gave with no luck. When I remove the attachement header and change it to plain text it just prints the code to my screen.Just to be sure I'm doing this right, here is the code I ended up with:
[code]<?php if( $listAction && $listAction == "csv" ){ 
header("Content-type: text/plain");

print "Id, First Name, Last Name, Organization, Email Address, Package, Pay By, Date Modified, Status". "\n";

$row = 0;

foreach($_POST["all"] as $value){

$sql = "SELECT mbrID, fName, lName, org, email, mbr_pkg, payType, active_date, status FROM members where mbrID = '".$value."'";

// die($sql);
$rval = mysql_query($sql);
while ($data = mysql_fetch_assoc ($rval) ) {
++$row;

if($data["status"] == '0'){
$status = "Pending";
}elseif($data["status"] == '1'){
$status = "Activated";
}elseif($data["status"] == '2'){
$status = "Deactivated";}

print $data["mbrID"] . ",".$data["fName"] . ",". $data["lName"].",".$data["org"] . ",".$data["email"]. ",".$data["mbr_pkg"]. ",".$data["payType"].",".$data["active_date"].",".$status."\n";
}
}
}
?>[/code]

Thanks again for helping.

try this:

[code]if( $listAction && $listAction == "csv" ) {
header("Content-type: text/plain");

$query = "SELECT * FROM members WHERE mbrID IN('" . implode("', '", $_POST['all']) . "')";

$results = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());

echo "Id, First Name, Last Name, Organization, Email Address, Package, Pay By, Date Modified, Status\n";

while ($data = mysql_fetch_array($results, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
if ($data["status"] == '0') {
$status = "Pending";
} else if ($data["status"] == '1') {
$status = "Activated";
} else if ($data["status"] == '2') {
$status = "Deactivated";
}

echo $data['mbrID'] . "," .
$data['fName'] . "," .
$data['lName'] . "," .
$data['org'] . "," .
$data['email'] . "," .
$data['mbr_pkg'] . "," .
$data['payType'] . "," .
$data['active_date'] . "," .
$status . "\n";
}

exit;
}[/code]

I get the same issue; with this it just prints the html page info, javascript calls, and all of the data for the csv file...it does not prompt me to download a file...

Any other ideas?
Thank you very much for your help

[hitman6003]

what is the full code of your script?

[emilyfrazier]

Sorry I took a little while to respond...I thought I had been given up on! Thanks for sticking with me. Since my full code is hundreds of lines, I will just include the pertinent areas.

First, here is the code that gets printed out when I choose the select option for "Export File". This gets printed in the browser directly; does not prompt for download:

}
}

function checkField( id ){

obj = document.getElementById(id);
if( obj.checked ){ obj.checked = false; }

So, in the actual page, here is what I have that is pertinent:[code]<?php require_once( "../schedule/config.php");

I also tried removing the if( $listAction && $listAction == "csv" ) area out of the head section and into the body, but this did not make any difference...Also, while I understand most of this code, I did not write the javascript function doSelect. I took this on from someone else who had written those functions using Radio boxes (which I then changed to a select box) and who I was collaborating with. So I am still a newbie; don't assume I know too too much! Thanks,
Emily
