Hello there,
i have an app that i need to be able to publish a link to download a
csv file.
i know that i can use php to make the file, but how to i link to it
through php.
like if i have an html file that has a link in it like this
<a href="somedata. csv">here be data</a>
or would i make that a .php file that would generate a csv ?
the data will come from MySQL.
any ideas?
thanks 5  5802

By me the best choice is to have page with links as php page and have other
php page for generating and sending csv file direct to browser.
download.php
-------------------
<html><body.. ..
<?php
# link for csv where mysql query contain eg. "... WHERE id=12345"
echo "<a href=\"sendcsv. php?id=12345\>h ere be data</a>\n";
?>
</body></html>
sendcsv.php
-----------------
<?php
$link = mysql_connect(" localhost", "user, "password") or die(mysql_error ());
mysql_select_db ("mydb") or die(mysql_error ());
$id = $_GET["id"]*1; # multiply by 1 preempt sql injection
$query = "SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE id=$id";
$result = mysql_query($qu ery);
echo "Content-Type: application/csv\n",
"Content-Disposition: filename=\"csv_ data.csv\"\n\n" ;
while ($row = mysql_fetch_arr ay($result, MYSQL_ASSOC))
{
echo $row["field1"], ';', $row["field2"], ';' ...."\n";
}
mysql_free_resu lt($result);
mysql_close($li nk);
?>

PHP to generate the CSV is probably easiest:
<?php header("Content-Type", "text/csv");
// code spewing CSV here
?>

i like the code spewing csv bit. But the filename will be a .php, right
? Will the browser the client uses recognize that it is producing a csv
for them to download? You know, with the little [save as] dialog?
thanks

What is the right type "text/csv" or "applicatio n/csv" ? For me work both
but what is right?

I'm looking at moving a large base of C++ code to .Net under tight time

After pouring over the available information, and trying a few experiments,
I am still left with a few questions and issues I hope someone out there can
shed some light on.
