export mysql result to excel

Question

I found a little script that will export information to an xls file, but I can\'t seem to get it working. The original code is found here: http://www.appservnetwork.com/modu

Answer 1

If the actual information is strings, this won't work. Pack("d" is trying to cast it as a Double instead of a String.

You need to create a xlsWriteString function.

Looks like there's one here: http://hunter.forumotion.com/forum-f9/topic-t98.htm

function xlsWriteString( $Row , $Col , $Value )
{
$L = strlen( $Value );
echo pack( "ssssss" , 0x204 , 8 + $L , $Row , $Col , 0x0 , $L );
echo $Value;
return;
}
