    Assuming you wish to download the csv file as you run the script, I just use a typical mysql query with the following header:
    header( "Content-Type: application/save-as" );
    header ('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="myfile.csv"');

    Otherwise a csv file is just a comma delimited file, output each record with commas between the fields and ensure each record is on it's own individual line.

    Hope this helps.

    the steps involved woould be
    1 connect to db
    2 select desired records
    3 create or open the destination file
    4 step through the returned records writing them line by line into your destination file
    5 close your destination file

    mysql_connect
    mysql_select_db
    mysql_query
    (you may want to check for 1 or more rows returned here)
    fopen
    mysql_fetch_array
    - fwrite
    fclose

    $export = mysql_query ( $select ) or die ( "Sql error : " . mysql_error( ) );

    $fields = mysql_num_fields ( $export );

    for ( $i = 0; $i < $fields; $i++ )

    $header .= mysql_field_name( $export , $i ) . "\t";

    Is there any way which the name of the file , currently your_desired_name.xls can be modified or inputted by the user.

    Many thanks,

    Re: export data in the bd Mysql to the Excel file

    There is a nice tool for reading Microsoft Excel files called PHPExcelReader. It works with .xls files up to Excel version 2003, which are based on the BIFF format (later versions use OOXML). It is written in native PHP and does not require any third-party libraries or the MS Office package.

    Looping through all cells in a sheet with PHPExcelReader is as simple as this:

    Code:
    require_once 'Excel/reader.php';
    
    $reader = new Spreadsheet_Excel_Reader();
    $reader->setOutputEncoding("UTF-8");
    
    $reader->read("test.xls");
    
    for ($i = 1; $i <= $reader->sheets[0]["numRows"]; $i++)
    {
    	for ($j = 1; $j <= $reader->sheets[0]["numCols"]; $j++)
    	{
    		print "\"".$reader->sheets[0]["cells"][$i][$j]."\",";
    	}
    	echo "\n";
    }
