I want to save parts (and differently arranged) of my mysql database in a CSV file. For that I wrote this piece of code:
$headerDisplayed = false;
foreach ($arr as &$currName)
{
$result2 = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Experiment Where Person='$currName'");
$i = 1;
while ($row2 = mysql_fetch_array($result2))
{
$list['Name'] = $currName;
$list['Studie'] = $row2['Studie'];
if(strcmp($row2['Antwort'],$row2['Korrekt']) == 0)
{
$list["A $i"] = '0';
}
else
{
$list["A $i"] = '1';
}
$i++;
}
if ( !$headerDisplayed ) {
// Use the keys from $data as the titles
fputcsv($fp, array_keys($list));
$headerDisplayed = true;
}
fputcsv($fp, $list);
}
fclose($fp);
Unfortunately this does not what I wanted it to do. My plan was that each entry of $list
(e.g. $list["A 1"]
or $list["A 15"]
) has its own column. And then the call of fputcsv
should create a new line and again one column for each $list
entry.
I create new rows with each fputcsv
call, just as expected, but the complete $list
array is in the first (most left) column.
What do I have to do to solve this issue?
ADDED: I get something like:
[1,0,0,0,1,1,0,0] [] [] [] [] [] [] []
[1,0,1,1,0,1,0,0] [] [] [] [] [] [] []
[0,1,1,1,1,1,0,1] [] [] [] [] [] [] []
but what I want is more like:
[1] [0] [0] [0] [1] [1] [0] [0]
[1] [0] [1] [1] [0] [1] [0] [0]
[0] [1] [1] [1] [1] [1] [0] [1]
This this:
fputcsv($fp, array_values($list));
EDIT:
Use this to get it instantly working with excel:
fputcsv($fp, array_values($list), ';', ' ');
EDIT 2: The default character that is used as the field-separator in excel is set by the locale settings of windows. That means: If you export a csv-file with german locale settings will cause problems with excel in an us-environment... Another thread covered this topic.
