    <p>I am in need to create a CSV file getting the data from a mySQL DB.</p> <p>The fact is that I want the CSV tp be corrected labeled and not just writing the data like this:</p> <pre><code>id,name,url 1,thisismyname,thisismyurl </code></pre> <p>I need the CSV file to look well ordered and each data inserted in the relative column.</p> <p>Also with the function I am going to add below I can only grab the data from the DB and write it to the CSV file as it is. But I need to work with the data and have the CSV labeled in this way:</p> <pre><code>Campaign Name: Name of the campaign Campaign Url: Url of the campaign Tot visits: Tot of visits Tot unique visits: Tot of unique visits id name url 1 thisname this url 2 thisname this url 3 thisname this url 4 thisname this url 5 thisname this url </code></pre> <p>This is the PHP code I have so far..I need to understand how to achieve a correct structure of the CSV with PHP and adding the lines in it the exact way I want..</p> <p>Thanks for your help!</p> <pre><code>function genCSV($filename, $attachment = true, $headers = true) { // send response headers to the browser header('Content-Type: text/csv'); header('Content-Disposition: attachment;filename=' . $filename); $fp = fopen('php://output', 'w'); $query = "SELECT * FROM campaigns"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error()); if ($headers) { // output header row (if at least one row exists) $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result); if ($row) { fputcsv($fp, array_keys($row)); // reset pointer back to beginning mysql_data_seek($result, 0); } } while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) { fputcsv($fp, $row); } fclose($fp); } </code></pre>

    2. COYour question heavily depends on how your database is structured. What kinds of columns does the table `campaigns` have? Are other tables neccessary to gather the required information that you like to output?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
