Generate a CSV file
Snippet to generate a CSV file from any table or combination of tables from the data base.
<?php
function csvWriter(){
// set the content as octet-stream
drupal_set_header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
// tell the thing the filesize
drupal_set_header("Content-Length: ".filesize("download.csv"));
// set it as an attachment and give a file name
drupal_set_header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="download.csv"');
$fp = fopen('download.csv', 'w');
// these are the headers of the columns
$csvFile = 'Title'.chr(13);
// modify the query to pull the info you need from the database here
$result = db_query("SELECT n.nid FROM node n WHERE n.type = 'my_content' " );
while($element = db_fetch_object($result)){
$node = node_load($element->nid);
$csvFile .= str_replace(',','',$node->title).chr(13);
}
fwrite($fp,$csvFile);
fclose($fp);
// read into the buffer
readfile("download.csv");
exit;
}
csvWriter();
?>I this example you will get a spread sheet with only the titles of the nodes that are "my_content" type.
Just make your modifications and insert this snippet into a page or any node. once you load the node, you will get prompted to download the CSV file.
