Import CSV File Data into MySQL database using PHP<\/a>. In this tutorial, we will show you how to export data from MySQL database to CSV file using PHP<\/b>. <\/p>\nTo demonstrate Export to CSV<\/b> functionality, we will build an example script that will export member’s data from the MySQL database and save it in a CSV file using PHP.<\/p>\n\n- Fetch data from the database using PHP and MySQL.<\/li>\n
- Create a CSV file in PHP and save data in it.<\/li>\n
- Export MySQL data and download it in a CSV file using PHP.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Create Database Table<\/h2>\n
To store the data, a table needs to be created in the database. The following SQL creates a members<\/code> table with some basic fields in the MySQL database.<\/p>\nCREATE<\/span> TABLE<\/span> `members`<\/span> (\r\n `id`<\/span> int<\/span>(11<\/span>) NOT<\/span> NULL<\/span> AUTO_INCREMENT,\r\n `first_name`<\/span> varchar<\/span>(25<\/span>) COLLATE<\/span> utf8_unicode_ci NOT<\/span> NULL<\/span>,\r\n `last_name`<\/span> varchar<\/span>(25<\/span>) COLLATE<\/span> utf8_unicode_ci NOT<\/span> NULL<\/span>,\r\n `email`<\/span> varchar<\/span>(50<\/span>) COLLATE<\/span> utf8_unicode_ci NOT<\/span> NULL<\/span>,\r\n `gender`<\/span> enum('Male'<\/span>,'Female'<\/span>) COLLATE<\/span> utf8_unicode_ci NOT<\/span> NULL<\/span>,\r\n `country`<\/span> varchar<\/span>(20<\/span>) COLLATE<\/span> utf8_unicode_ci NOT<\/span> NULL<\/span>,\r\n `created`<\/span> datetime NOT<\/span> NULL<\/span>,\r\n `status`<\/span> tinyint(1<\/span>) NOT<\/span> NULL<\/span> DEFAULT<\/span> 1<\/span> COMMENT<\/span> '1=Active | 0=Inactive'<\/span>,\r\n PRIMARY KEY<\/span> (`id`<\/span>)\r\n) ENGINE<\/span>=InnoDB<\/span> DEFAULT<\/span> CHARSET<\/span>=utf8 COLLATE<\/span>=utf8_unicode_ci;<\/pre>\nDatabase Configuration (dbConfig.php)<\/h2>\n
The dbConfig.php<\/code> is used to connect the database. Specify the database host ($dbHost<\/code>), username ($dbUsername<\/code>), password ($dbPassword<\/code>), and name ($dbName<\/code>) as per your MySQL database credentials.<\/p>\n<?php
<\/span>\/\/ Database configuration
<\/span>$dbHost <\/span>= <\/span>\"localhost\"<\/span>;
<\/span>$dbUsername <\/span>= <\/span>\"root\"<\/span>;
<\/span>$dbPassword <\/span>= <\/span>\"root\"<\/span>;
<\/span>$dbName <\/span>= <\/span>\"codexworld\"<\/span>;
<\/span>\/\/ Create database connection
<\/span>$db <\/span>= new <\/span>mysqli<\/span>(<\/span>$dbHost<\/span>, <\/span>$dbUsername<\/span>, <\/span>$dbPassword<\/span>, <\/span>$dbName<\/span>);
<\/span>\/\/ Check connection
<\/span>if (<\/span>$db<\/span>-><\/span>connect_error<\/span>) {
die(<\/span>\"Connection failed: \" <\/span>. <\/span>$db<\/span>-><\/span>connect_error<\/span>);
}<\/span><\/pre>\nData List from MySQL Database (index.php)<\/h2>\n
Initially, all the member’s data is fetched from the database and listed in a tabular format.<\/p>\n
\n- An EXPORT button is placed at the top of the data list.<\/li>\n
- By clicking the Export<\/b> button, the data is exported from the database and allow to download on a local drive as a CSV file.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
