Writing and Exporting Excel file Using PHPExcel - php

Question

I am Trying to fill my Excel sheet with the data i filtered through the methods i have made. For now i am getting a sheet but i only have only one row filled not the other it's not getting the data i provide it though my object
I am trying my sheet something similar to this sheet .
i am trying to write code in this part of code :
public function export($Sets,$disp_filter)
{
$objPHPExcel = new PHPExcel();
$objPHPExcel->getProperties()->setTitle("Offic excel Test Document");
$styleArray = array(
'font' => array(
'bold' => true,
'color' => array('rgb' => 'FF0000'),
'size' => 10,
'name' => 'Verdana'
));
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->getStyle('A1')->applyFromArray($styleArray);
$excel_out = array($this->outputSampleName($Sets));
// var_dump($excel_out);
// exit;
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->SetCellValue('A1', 'Sample Size and Margin of Error');
$rowCount = 2;
foreach ($excel_out as $key=> $line)
{
$colCount = 'A';
$i=0;
// $line = array($Set['name']);
// $CT = $Set['crossTabs']['base'];
// $Moe = array($CT['sample']['moe']);
foreach($line as $col_value)
{
// var_dump($col_value);
// exit;
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->setCellValue($colCount.$rowCount, $col_value[$i])
->getStyle($colCount.$rowCount)->applyFromArray($styleArray);
$colCount++;
}
$rowCount++;
$i++;
}
return $objPHPExcel;
}
protected function outputSampleName($Sets)
{
foreach ($Sets as $Set)
{
$CT = $Set['crossTabs']['base'];
$line = array(
$Set['name'],
$CT['sample']['moe'] . '%'
);
$excel_out []= $line;
}
return $excel_out;
}
when i see by var_dump($excel_out)
i have this data structure :
**Please suggest me something how can i get those percentage values in my next row in optimized way.
for now i can only loop through the sample[name] which are (enthusiasts, hunter, new shooters etc. )from that array. **
thanks in advance

Answer 1

Maybe because your array elements are arrays themselves, and you are trying to place these subarrays into cells.
Try setting each element of $line in separate cells:
foreach ($excel_out as $line)
{
$colCount = 'A';
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()
->setCellValue('A'.$rowCount, $line[0])
->setCellValue('B'.$rowCount, $line[1])
->setCellValue('C'.$rowCount, $line[2])
->setCellValue('D'.$rowCount, $line[3])
->setCellValue('E'.$rowCount, $line[4]);
$colCount++;
$rowCount++;
}
Note that the first sub-array in $excel_out has only one element. You may want to store.
You could also use an inner loop to traverse through each $line.
EDIT:
After looking at the code in your answer.
Using inner loop:
oreach ($excel_out as $key=> $line)
{
$colCount = 'A';
$i = 0;
foreach($line as $col_value)
{
// var_dump($col_value);
// exit;
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->setCellValue($colCount.$rowCount, $col_value[$i]);
//$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->setCellValue('B'.$rowCount, $col_value[1]);
//$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->setCellValue('C'.$rowCount, $col_value[2]);
//$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->setCellValue('D'.$rowCount, $col_value[3]);
//$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->setCellValue('E'.$rowCount, $col_value[4]);
//$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->setCellValue('F'.$rowCount, $col_value[5]);
$colCount++;
$i++;
//$rowCount++;
}
$rowCount++;
// $colCount++;
}

Answer 2

$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->setCellValue($colCount.$rowCount, $line);
Seems like you're writing an array $line into a cell. Should you do a loop from 0 to count($line) to put each element into a cell?
