Iterating over mysql data and posting to excel with phpexcel - php

Question

I would like to produce something like this in an excel file but it produces this which is not what i want. I would like the output to be exactly the same. If the number of tests are four, then four tests are dynamically printed vertically in a cell in excel file as in the word document plus the additional details
here is more details of the number of tests and their details.
$trd = $this->getRequestedTestsDisplay2($labref); //An array of objects 4 in total
$coa_details = $this->getAssayDissSummary($labref); //details as shown http://nqcl.alphybay.com/word.png
phpword code
for ($i = 0; $i < count($trd); $i++) {
foreach ($coa_details as $coa) {
if ($coa->test_id == $trd[$i]->test_id) {
$determined = $coa->determined;
$remarks = $coa->verdict;
}
}
$table3->addRow(400);
$table3->addCell(1500)->addText($trd[$i]->name);
$table3->addCell(1500)->addText($trd[$i]->methods);
$table3->addCell(1700)->addText($trd[$i]->compedia);
$table3->addCell(1800)->addText($trd[$i]->specification);
$table3->addCell(1700)->addText('DETERMINED', $style3);
$table3->addCell(1500)->addText($trd[$i]->complies);
}
phpxcel code
$row = 19;
$col=1;
$worksheet= $objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet();
for ($i = 0; $i < count($trd); $i++) {
foreach ($coa_details as $coa) {
if ($coa->test_id == $trd[$i]->test_id) {
$determined = $coa->determined;
$remarks = $coa->verdict;
}
$worksheet
->setCellValueByColumnAndRow($col, $row, $trd[$i]->name)
->setCellValueByColumnAndRow($col, $row, $trd[$i]->methods)
->setCellValueByColumnAndRow($col, $row, $trd[$i]->compedia)
->setCellValueByColumnAndRow($col, $row, $trd[$i]->specification)
->setCellValueByColumnAndRow($col, $row, $trd[$i]->complies);
$col++;
}
$row++;
}

Answer 1

Perhaps resetting column for each row, and not overwriting each value in the same row/column:
$row = 19;
$worksheet= $objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet();
for ($i = 0; $i < count($trd); $i++) {
$col=1;
foreach ($coa_details as $coa) {
if ($coa->test_id == $trd[$i]->test_id) {
$determined = $coa->determined;
$remarks = $coa->verdict;
}
$worksheet
->setCellValueByColumnAndRow($col++, $row, $trd[$i]->name)
->setCellValueByColumnAndRow($col++, $row, $trd[$i]->methods)
->setCellValueByColumnAndRow($col++, $row, $trd[$i]->compedia)
->setCellValueByColumnAndRow($col++, $row, $trd[$i]->specification)
->setCellValueByColumnAndRow($col++, $row, $trd[$i]->complies);
}
$row++;
}
EDIT
You mean something like:
$row = 19;
$worksheet= $objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet();
for ($i = 0; $i < count($trd); $i++) {
$col=1;
foreach ($coa_details as $coa) {
if ($coa->test_id == $trd[$i]->test_id) {
$determined = $coa->determined;
$remarks = $coa->verdict;
}
}
$worksheet
->setCellValueByColumnAndRow($col++, $row, $trd[$i]->name)
->setCellValueByColumnAndRow($col++, $row, $trd[$i]->methods)
->setCellValueByColumnAndRow($col++, $row, $trd[$i]->compedia)
->setCellValueByColumnAndRow($col++, $row, $trd[$i]->specification)
->setCellValueByColumnAndRow($col++, $row, $trd[$i]->complies);
}
$row++;
}
