sukhman4 Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Hii.. I have a table in mysql wich contain a sim_number field which is 19 digit unsigned number. i have designed a script using php headear command for exporting data as excel. It is working but with the follwoing problem. Since sim_number is 19 digit number when it get exported as .xls file. now when that .xls file is opened, excel automatically detect this sim_number as number and , since excel can store only 15 digit in number format it converts its last 4 digits to zeros. Is there any way to get this sim_number exported as text so that excel store complete 19 digit number in text format. P.S I cannot attach some charctor to this sim_number because of restricion on file format. Please help..Thanx Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/65780-problem-in-exporting-data-from-mysql-using-php-in-excel-form/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
