I'm trying to fetch and download data using php to csv file, for task i found a good answer, this is working for me on all browser except firefox.
$s = $master->getUser();
function array2csv(array &$array)
{
if (count($array) == 0) {
return null;
}
ob_start();
$df = fopen("php://output", 'w');
fputcsv($df, array_keys(reset($array)));
foreach ($array as $row) {
fputcsv($df, $row);
}
fclose($df);
return ob_get_clean();
}
function download_send_headers($filename) {
/*header("Content-Type: application/csv");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename={$filename}");
// Disable caching
header("Cache-Control: no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate"); // HTTP 1.1
header("Pragma: no-cache"); // HTTP 1.0
header("Expires: 0"); // Proxies*/
// disable caching
$now = gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s");
header("Expires: Tue, 03 Jul 2001 06:00:00 GMT");
header("Cache-Control: max-age=0, no-cache, must-revalidate, proxy-revalidate");
header("Last-Modified: {$now} GMT");
// force download
header("Content-Type: application/force-download");
header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-Type: application/download");
// disposition / encoding on response body
header("Content-Disposition: attachment;filename={$filename}");
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment;filename={$filename}");
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
}
download_send_headers(site_title .' '. date("d M Y") . ".csv");
echo array2csv($s);
die();
In Firefox file extension does not showing in csv, it is looking like application file.
Have you tried removing these in your code:
header("Content-Type: application/force-download");
header("Content-Type: application/download");
Just retain:
header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");

I have a simple web page which pulls some data from DB and displays it in a html table and stores the data in some session variables.
I have a button "Export to csv" which calls a page which exports the results to a csv file.
The code for ExportToCsv file is:
<?php
session_start();
include "conn/sqlserverConn.php";
function download_send_headers($filename) {
// disable caching
$now = gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s");
header("Expires: Tue, 03 Jul 2001 06:00:00 GMT");
header("Cache-Control: max-age=0, no-cache, must-revalidate, proxy-revalidate");
header("Last-Modified: {$now} GMT");
// force download
header("Content-Type: application/force-download");
header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-Type: application/download");
// disposition / encoding on response body
header("Content-Disposition: attachment;filename={$filename}");
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
}
$data = $_SESSION['data'];
$rows = $_SESSION['row'];
$header = $_SESSION['header'];
download_send_headers("data_export_" . date("Y-m-d") . ".csv");
$file = fopen("php://output", 'w');
fputcsv($file,$header);
for($i=0; $i<$rows; ++$i)
{
$valuesArray=array();
foreach($data[$i] as $name => $value)
{
$valuesArray[]=$value;
}
fputcsv($file,$valuesArray);
}
fclose($file);
die();

My code is working flawlessly in firefox but it is not working in chrome or IE. On chrome and IE it is showing error 404 (Object not found!). Please tell me what is the problem ?
As outlined in the blog article at: http://www.exchangecore.com/blog/php-output-array-csv-headers/, I tested the following and it worked in IE8-11, and in chrome version 34. I presume it will work in other browsers fine as well.
Headers to use:
header('Pragma: public');
header('Expires: 0');
header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0');
header('Cache-Control: private', false);
header('Content-Type: text/csv');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment;filename=' . $fileName);
I am working with some legacy PHP code and have run into Word Doc (docx) and Spreadsheet (xlsx) corruption.
Here is the current code in the download.php file:
$new_file_name = stripMySlashes($filename);
header("Content-disposition: attachment;filename=$new_file_name");
header("Content-type: application/octetstream");
header("Pragma: no-cache");
header("Expires: 0");
$client=getenv("HTTP_USER_AGENT");
$fp=fopen('uploaded_files/'.$folder.'/'.$filename,"r");
$str=fread($fp,filesize('uploaded_files/'.$folder.'/'.$filename));
echo $str;
fclose($fp);
How can I avoid checking for a bunch of filetypes in a case statement for example? I tried code like this with no luck
$file="test.docx";
header("Pragma: public");
header('Content-disposition: attachment; filename='.$file);
header("Content-type: ".mime_content_type($file));
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
ob_clean();
flush();
readfile($file);
Any help is extremely appreciated. Thanks
Props to How to download word file using php on chrome and IE
I used this to fix the docx corruption issue...
$new_file_name = stripMySlashes($filename);
$fdl = #fopen('uploaded_files/'.$folder.'/'.$filename,'rb');
header("Status: 200");
header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT");
header('Last-Modified: '.gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s').' GMT');
header("Pragma: hack");
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
header("Cache-Control: private", false);
header("Content-Description: File Transfer");
header("Content-Type: application/force-download");
header("Content-Type: application/download");
header("Content-Type: application/octetstream");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"".$new_file_name."\"");
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
header("Content-Length:".filesize('uploaded_files/'.$folder.'/'.$filename));
if($fdl)
{
while(!feof($fdl)) {
print(fread($fdl, filesize('uploaded_files/'.$folder.'/'.$filename)));
flush();
if (connection_status()!=0)
{
#fclose($fdl);
die();
}
}
}
Hi guys I'm trying to get an automatic download box to appear when people go a page.
I've got this working on all the browsers and now ie9 has come along and although it downloads at the end it says "This download was interrupted"
this is what I'm using code wise
// set headers
header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT\n");
header("Last-Modified: " . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s") . " GMT");
header("Pragma: public");
header("Expires: 0");
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
header("Content-Type: application/force-download");
header("Content-Description: File Transfer");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$download[file]\";\n\n");
header( 'Content-Description: File Transfer' );
header("Content-Type: ".$mtype);
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
header("Content-Length: ".(string)$size.";\n");
//get a chunk of the file
$chunksize = 1*(1024*1024); // how many bytes per chunk
$buffer = '';
//downloads file
$handle = fopen($download_file, 'rb');
if ($handle === false) {
}
//write to the browser for download
while (!feof($handle)) {
$buffer = fread($handle, $chunksize);
echo $buffer;
ob_flush();
flush();
if ($retbytes) {
$cnt += strlen($buffer);
}
}
exit;
Any ideas?
Instead of the somewhat complicated file output you're doing, I'd just use readfile instead:
// set headers
header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT\n");
header("Last-Modified: " . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s") . " GMT");
header("Pragma: public");
header("Expires: 0");
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
header("Content-Type: application/force-download");
header("Content-Description: File Transfer");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$download[file]\";\n\n");
header( 'Content-Description: File Transfer' );
header("Content-Type: ".$mtype);
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
header("Content-Length: ".(string)$size.";\n");
readfile($download_file);
exit;
See if that works.
I am trying to generate an excel file with php. This works fine in Firefox but with IE I am only getting an empty file. This is what I am doing basically:
header('Content-type: application/ms-excel');
header('Content-Disposition: inline; attachment; filename='.$filename);
echo $data;
I have tried various header settings but no success. I have also tried to output the content as a text file, same result here. No content in IE.
Any ideas?
header("Cache-Control: no-stor,no-cache,must-revalidate");
header("Cache-Control: post-check=0,pre-check=0", false);
header("Cache-control: private");
header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
header('Content-Disposition: inline; attachment; filename='.$filename);
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
header("Pragma: no-cache");
header("Expires: 0");
--
header('Pragma: public');
header("Expires: Sat, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT");
header('Last-Modified: '.gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s') . ' GMT');
header('Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate');
header('Cache-Control: pre-check=0, post-check=0, max-age=0');
header ("Pragma: no-cache");
header("Expires: 0");
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: none');
header('Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel;');
header("Content-type: application/x-msexcel");
header('Content-Disposition: inline; attachment; filename='.$filename);
Just two Options, also tried some other combinations.
Thanks,
Roland
Had the same problem: IE times out after some short time if it doesn't get a response, even if the TCP connection is still open. What helped me was this: disable output buffering, send headers and flush them out. Send data when you have them. This was enough to keep the connection open.
Something like this:
// reset all output buffering
while (ob_get_level() > 0) {
ob_end_clean();
}
header('Content-type: application/ms-excel');
header('Content-Disposition: inline; attachment; filename='.$filename);
// we can't send any more headers after this
flush();
$excel = new PhpExcel();
$excel->setActiveSheetIndex(0);
$sheet = $excel->getActiveSheet();
// in this example, $data was an array in the format row => value
// data structure is not relevant to issue
foreach ($data as $key => $value) {
// add data to sheet here
$sheet->SetCellValue('A' . $key, $value);
// etc...
}
$writer = new PHPExcel_Writer($excel);
// push to browser
$writer->save('php://output');
Set your header to header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream"); to force a download.
or another version of your header is adding vnd so application/vnd.ms-excel but if you send this header then you should also send your current header along side it as some browsers vary.
