Yii2: PHPExcel error when process Excel contain 90k rows - php

Question

I have an application that has upload Excel file process. Then PHPExcel will process the uploaded Excel file.
This is the flow of process:
Upload file
Save file into local directory
Get file from local dir
Read the file using PHPExcel
I've successfully save the Excel file to local directory, reading and get the data from the Excel file.
But when I use an Excel file that contain 90K of rows x 25 columns, that file didn't saved into local directory. Then I'm trying to print_r the data and it return error=> 1
This is the print_r result
1. Excel with less than 8k rows and successfully saved to local dir:
2. Excel with 90K of rows and didn't saved into local dir:
This is my code in controller
public function actionCreate() {
$connection = \Yii::$app->db;
$model = new MasterProduct();
$userId = Yii::$app->user->id;
$date = new DateTime('now', new \DateTimeZone('Asia/Bali'));
$created_at = $date->format('Y:m:d H:i:s');
$dirTrash = Yii::getAlias('#webroot/trash');
$dirSubTrash = Yii::getAlias('#webroot/trash/trash_app');
//create directory in local if doesn't exist
if (!is_dir($dirTrash)) {
mkdir(Yii::getAlias('#webroot/trash'));
if (!is_dir($dirSubTrash)) {
mkdir(Yii::getAlias('#webroot/trash/trash_app'));
}
} else {
if (!is_dir($dirSubTrash)) {
mkdir(Yii::getAlias('#webroot/trash/trash_app'));
}
}
if (Yii::$app->request->post()) {
Yii::$app->response->format = Response::FORMAT_JSON;
$result = [];
$fileMaster = UploadedFile::getInstancesByName('master_product');
$middleName = substr(md5(microtime() * 100000), rand(0, 9), 5);
//named the uploaded file, then save into local directory
if ($fileMaster !== null) {
$nameMaster = $userId . '_MP' . '_' . $middleName . '_' . date('Y-m-d') . '_' . $fileMaster[0]->getBaseName() . "." . $fileMaster[0]->getExtension();
$pathMaster = Yii::getAlias('#webroot/trash/trash_app/') . $nameMaster;
$fileMaster[0]->saveAs($pathMaster);
} else {
$error[] = "Choose the" . "<strong>" . " Excel " . "</strong>" . "file first.";
$result = [
'error' => $error
];
}
//this the code i've used to print_out the array in above images
echo '<pre>';
print_r($fileMaster);
die();
//Access, and get the data from local directory
$objPHPExcelMaster = new \PHPExcel();
$fileNameMaster = Yii::getAlias('#webroot/trash/trash_app/') . $nameMaster;
$inputFilesMaster = fopen(Yii::getAlias('#webroot/trash/trash_app/') . $nameMaster, "r");
try {
$inputFileTypeMaster = \PHPExcel_IOFactory::identify($fileNameMaster);
$objReaderMaster = \PHPExcel_IOFactory::createReader($inputFileTypeMaster);
$objPHPExcelMaster = $objReaderMaster->load($fileNameMaster);
} catch (Exception $ex) {
die('Error');
}
$sheetMaster = $objPHPExcelMaster->getSheet(0);
$highestRowMaster = $sheetMaster->getHighestDataRow();
$highestColumnMaster = $sheetMaster->getHighestDataColumn();
//read the Excel file and set into array
for ($row = 1; $row <= $highestRowMaster; ++$row) {
$rowDataMaster = $sheetMaster->rangeToArray('A' . $row . ':' . $highestColumnMaster . $row, NULL, TRUE, NULL);
}
$tempDataMaster = mysql_escape_string(json_encode($rowDataMaster));
$commandCheckExist = "SELECT COUNT(user_id) FROM `gm_json_master` WHERE id=$userId";
$queryCheckExist = Yii::$app->db->createCommand($commandCheckExist)->execute();
//save data into db
if ($queryCheckExist == 0) {
$command_2 = "INSERT INTO json_master(json_m_product) VALUES('$tempDataMaster')";
$query_2 = Yii::$app->db->createCommand($command_2)->execute();
} else {
$commandUpdate = "UPDATE json_master SET json_m_product='$tempDataMaster'";
$queryUpdate = Yii::$app->db->createCommand($commandUpdate)->execute();
}
$result = [
'url' => Url::to(['/gm/json-master-product/save'])
];
return $result;
} else {
return $this->render('create', [
'model' => $model,
]);
}
}
How does this happen? and how do I can read big data of Excel using PHPExcel?

Answer 1

An error code of 1 means that the file size exceeds the max filesize allowed by your server's configuration.
From the docs:
UPLOAD_ERR_INI_SIZE
Value: 1; The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini.
I would try upping that limit as well as the max POST size limit and see if that helps.
