    <p>There's no need to download external libraries - everything you need for this is already built into PHP.</p> <p>Steps:</p> <ol> <li>Do query in php to get the rows you want to output<br> You can use <code>SELECT * FROM table WHERE id IN (1,2,...)</code></li> <li>Use <code>mysql_fetch_array()</code> or <code>mysql_fetch_assoc()</code> to get the rows one at a time</li> <li>Use <code>fputcsv()</code> to output them to a file ending in csv - this will properly escape your data</li> </ol> <p><a href="http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-fetch-array.php" rel="noreferrer">http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-fetch-array.php</a><br> <a href="http://php.net/manual/en/function.fputcsv.php" rel="noreferrer">http://php.net/manual/en/function.fputcsv.php</a> </p> <p>Excel will be able to read the file. </p> <p>Override the defaults for <code>fputcsv</code> to use tabs for delimiters and Excel will have an even easier time reading the file. If you use commas (the default) you may need to pick commas as the delimiter on Excel import.</p> <p>Here's a working example assuming you already have rows set up:</p> <pre><code>$rows; // predefined $filename = 'webdata_' . date('Ymd') . '.csv'; header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$filename\""); header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream"); // that indicates it is binary so the OS won't mess with the filename // should work for all attachments, not just excel $out = fopen("php://output", 'w'); // write directly to php output, not to a file foreach($rows as $row) { fputcsv($out, $row); } fclose($out); </code></pre>

    2. COIn my years of PHP, I've never actually used fputcsv -- usually because I generally avoid creating physical files, but this is perhaps a good solution. However, I don't think excel will have any problem using tabs as opposed to commas.. it should automatically detect the delimiter, so I don't anticipate configuration changes needing to be made. But again, mileage may vary. Very good answer though :-)

    3. COExcel does BETTER with tabs. A bit odd since csv stands for Comma Separated Values. See the example, no need to output to a file first. Just output straight to php standard out.

Querying!

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.
