Howdy all!
Some of my users want Excel reports from MySQL databases, so I have done the
following with PHP;
<!--BEGIN CODE-->
<?
header("Content-Type: application/x-excel");
header("Content-Disposition: inline;
filename=\"excel.xls\"");
header("Expires: 0");
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0,
pre-check=0");
//connect to and select database
if(!($dbconnect = mysql_pconnect("127.0.0.1", "user", "password"))){
print("Failed to connect to database!\n");
exit();
}
if(!mysql_select_db("rcr", $dbconnect)){
print("Failed to select database!\n");
exit();
}
//query
$qrecord = "SELECT DISTINCT RecordID ";
$qrecord .= "FROM tblClass10 ";
?>
<table>
<tr>
<td></td>
<?
while($dbrow = mysql_fetch_object($dbrecord)){
print("<td>");
print($dbrow->RecordID);
print("</td>\n");
}
?>
</tr>
</table>
<!--END CODE-->
If I name the file with a .xls extension it displays the code in the excel
worksheet in the browser. If I name the file with the .php extension it
opens Excel seperately, gives me a file download option (I click 'Open') and
then asks me to tell it what created the file, so I pick Excel. Then the
data is displayed properly in the Excel worksheet, outside of the browser.
I want the file to open an Excel worksheet in the browser (IE, on an
Intranet). Is there something I am missing?
Thanks!
