Your help would be very much appreciated.


SELECT timestamp, userID, Long, Lat, Long as LongB, Lat as LatB FROM table
I think you meant column instead of row

How to export multiple HTML tables to an excel file?

One record = 1 table.
For 1 record, the formatting is correct. However, for >= 2 records, the width of the table column increases (not sure by how many, I did not see any pattern).
The expected output is that in a single download for multiple records, the tables will be placed below after the other in a single sheet. This is met, but the column widths are messed up for multiple records.
I don't get any errors.
PHP:
echo "<body>";
foreach( $data as $d ){
include('file2.php');
}
echo "</body>";
header("Content-type: application/x-msexcel;charset=UTF-8");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=" . $filename);
header("Pragma: no-cache");
header("Expires: 0");
file2.php (please disregard the class, I have removed the .css styling)

Instead of using multiple <table></table> tags, I just had to use <tbody></tbody> inside the loop and enclose them in a single parent table.

xpath got wrong html attribute

So, I have this PHP scraper code and HTML below that I want to scrape using Xpath.
When I try to scrape every #href, it shows outerHTML 14, when it is supposes to be 14
The #href is cut in half where the space are. What causes this?
$content = $xpath->query('//a');
foreach($content as $c){
var_dump(htmlspecialchars($c->C14N())); echo '<br>';
}
The one above is the CURL code.
Here is the HTML.
<div class="outercalendar" id="maincalendar821"><table class="calendarHeader">
<tbody><tr>
<td><input type="button" onclick="AjxGetMainCalendarMonth('2', '2015', '821')" value="<"></td>
<td class="calendarHeader" colspan="5">March 2015</td>

</div>

The issue could be in the structure of the info stored in the tag.
I would suggest starting with a more detailed xpath:
//a/#href
so your initial code would be:
$content = $xpath->query('//a/#href');

PHP curl. Traversing search results

I am working on a website that allows people to search for an 'x' product and display the results in a table format for example.
I am planning on scraping the search data from another website using php curl. (the owner of the website being scraped is aware and allows it, so no legal issues there).
I already have a php curl code to go and login to the website, and do a search based on user inputs. I have no idea how to go thru the results of the search and output then in my website one by one.
PHP curl code:
$username = '********';
$password = '********';
$loginUrl = 'http://www.a-website.com/login.asp';
//init curl
$ch = curl_init();
//Set the URL to work with
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $loginUrl);
// ENABLE HTTP POST
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
//Set the post parameters
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, 'username=' . $username . '&password=' . $password . '&submit1=' . 'Login');
//Handle cookies for the login
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, 'cookie stuff hure');
//Setting CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER variable to 1 will force cURL
//not to print out the results of its query.
//Instead, it will return the results as a string return value
//from curl_exec() instead of the usual true/false.
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
//execute the request (the login)
$store = curl_exec($ch);
/* * *****************SEARCH HERE****************** */
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://www.a-website.com/Index.asp');
//execute the request
$content = curl_exec($ch);
//Set the post parameters
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, 'search_txt_vs=' . '' . '&search_txt_UPC=' . '' . '&search_txt_Name=' . $searchString .
'&search_txt_Manufacturer=' . '' . '&submit=' . 'Search');
//execute the request (the search)
$Search = curl_exec($ch);
print CJSON::encode($Search);
print $Search;
//save the data to disk
print $content;
Here is the html code from the website Im scrapping (which btw is in old school table format)

You could try adding the string to a DOMDocument and use the getElementsByTagName and then write them into an array or something you can use. More information here: http://php.net/manual/en/domdocument.getelementsbytagname.php
Also, similar question was answered here, considering you're returning HTML:PHP parse HTML tags

If you're using PDO, which is a better approach:
echo "<table>";
$sql = $this->db->query("SELECT * FROM YOUR_TABLE");
while($row = $sql->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC))
{
echo "
<tr>
<td>". $row['quantity'] ."</td>
<td>". $row['unit'] ."</td>
<td>". $row['details'] ."</td>
<td>". $row['issued_date'] ."</td>
<td>". $row['returned'] ."</td>
</tr>
";
}
echo "</table>";
Or if you're mysql_ functions, which are deprecated:
echo "<table>";
$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM YOUR_TABLE");
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($sql))
{
echo "
<tr>
<td>". $row['quantity'] ."</td>
<td>". $row['unit'] ."</td>
<td>". $row['details'] ."</td>
<td>". $row['issued_date'] ."</td>
<td>". $row['returned'] ."</td>
</tr>
";
}
echo "/<table>";

In addition to the above answer, you can also use mysqli. Here's an example:
$result = $mysqli->query($query);
while ($row = $result->fetch_object()){
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>" . $row->quantity . "</td>"
...etc...
}

I want to extract each value like Manufacturing Data and the values of all the years mentioned in that line. How do I go about this?
I found something like preg_match('#<tr><th>(.*)</th> <td><b>price</b></td></tr>#', $content, $match); but that doesn't get the values I want.

If i understood you question well you want something like this to be done. this was written by me so if you need clarifications i'd love to help.
cheers !

You can use libraries like PHP Simple HTML DOM Parser to extract data from HTML/XHTML.
http://simplehtmldom.sourceforge.net/manual.htm
An example:
$pageDom = str_get_html( $rawHtmlData );
foreach( $pageDom->find( 'td' ) as $tblElem )
{
if( FALSE !== stristr( $tblElem->innertext, 'Manufacturing expenses' ) )
{
// Do stuff
}
}
