Export data into an existing csv file using php - php

Question

I'm trying to get data from my data base and load it into an existing csv file i get no errors but each time i check with the file it stills empty.
this is my PHP file :
<?
$server="XXXX";
$user="XXXX";
$password="XXXX";
$db="XXXX";
mysql_connect($server,$user,$password) or die('erreur au serveur');
mysql_select_db($db) or die('erreur db');
if ($file=fopen('XXXX/toERP/exportfactures.csv','w')!=FALSE){
$req='select * from facture';
$sql = mysql_query($req);
$cpt=1;
$response["factures"] = array();
$output=fopen('http://XXXXX/toERP/exportfactures.csv','w');
if (mysql_num_rows($sql) > 0) {
// looping through all results
// factures node
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)) {
// temp user array
$facture = array();
$facture["id_fac"] = $row["id_fac"];
$facture["id_client"] = $row["id_client"];
$facture["id_agent"] = $row["id_agent"];
$facture["montant"] = $row["montant"];
$facture["type_paiement"] = $row["type_paiement"];
$facture["id_prod"] = $row["id_prod"];
$facture["date_vente"] = $row["date_vente"];
// push single client into final response array
array_push($response["factures"], $facture);
}
foreach ($response["factures"] as $ligne){
var_dump($ligne);
fputcsv($output,$ligne) or die ('erreur');
echo $cpt."inserted";
$cpt++;
}
fclose($file);
} else {
echo "file not found";
}
}
?>

Answer 1

You are unable to write to an http location try changing it to a local directory.
fopen('\XXXX\toERP\factures.csv','w')
or just change the save location
$output = fopen('\XXXX\toERP\factures.csv','w');
fputcsv($output, explode(';',$ligne));

Answer 2

You are trying to open a file from remote server due to url example your have wrote. This is your most possible issue if you see the lines inserted by echo.

Answer 3

Here is the definition for fputcsv : http://php.net/manual/en/function.fputcsv.php
As the second argument, you need to provide an array with fields.
$ligne in your case, is an array with one element: ['factures'] which is another array, so you need to change the foreach to match the form below :
foreach ($response['factures'] as $ligne)
Also, as others mentioned: you need to select a local resource for the filename, and make sure you have the right to write on it.

this code worked for me :
<?
$server="mysql12.000webhost.com";
$user="a2258793_star";
$password="star123";
$db="a2258793_stores";
$con = mysql_connect($server,$user,$password) or die('erreur au serveur');
mysql_select_db($db) or die('erreur db');
mysql_select_db($db);
$file='toERP/factures.csv';
$fp = fopen($file,"w");
$sql = mysql_query("select * from facture") or die (mysql_error);
mysql_data_seek($sql,0);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($sql)){
$sep = "";
$comma = "";
foreach ($row as $name => $value)
{
$sep.=$comma.''.str_replace('','""',$value);
$comma =";";
}
$sep.="\n";
fputs($fp,$sep);
}
fclose($fp);
?>
