I am trying to create a script that can export data from a mysql database containing files (pdf mainly). This data is then imported onto the local version of the system.
However I have a problem with the BLOB field, when I export and import using PHPMYADMIN, it works fine, however when using my script, the BLOB field has additional code added to the top. Almost as if it is code to instruct programs how to deal with it. When i try to import this version into PHPMYADMIN, it doesnt work.
Is is a formatting error, do i need to convert it to a type. At present it is simply pulled from the database as a row['content'] item and then outputted to the csv
Any help would be much appreciated
Regards
///////////////// source code of my script
$file = 'supportingFiles'; // csv name.
$result = mysql_query("SHOW COLUMNS FROM files");
$a = 0;
if (mysql_num_rows($result) > 0) { //print column titles based on number of columns in the two files
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
$a++;
}
}
$values = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM files "); //select client details wehere required
while ($rows = mysql_fetch_array($values)) { //print client information
for ($k=0;$k<$a;$k++) {
$csv_output .= $rows[$k].",";
}
$csv_output .= "\n"; //end of line
}
$filename = $file."_".date("d-m-Y_H-i",time());
header("Content-type: application/csv");
header("Content-disposition: csv" . date("Y-m-d") . ".csv");
header( "Content-disposition: filename=supportingFiles.csv");
echo $csv_output; //output data file
when an export is ran using this script the following proceeds the actual content outputted when a csv export of the table is run from phpmyadmin...
