Re: Export CSV with CakePHP

I think you should use this plugin https://github.com/FriendsOfCake/cakephp-csvview instead of implementing it all by yourself

You don't have to use jquery or views to do this.  I use this handy little function a lot.  I usually put it in a Component but there is no need unless you need it elsewhere

public function array_to_csv_download($array, $filename = "export.csv", $delimiter=",") {

    // open raw memory as file so no temp files needed, you might run out of memory though

    $f = fopen('php://memory', 'w'); 

    // loop over the input array

    foreach ($array as $line) { 

        // generate csv lines from the inner arrays

        fputcsv($f, $line, $delimiter); 

    }

    // rewrind the "file" with the csv lines

    fseek($f, 0);

    // tell the browser it's going to be a csv file

    header('Content-Type: application/csv');

    header("Content-Type: application/force-download");

    header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");

    header("Content-Type: application/download");

    // tell the browser we want to save it instead of displaying it

    header('Content-Disposition: attachement; filename="'.$filename.'"');

    // make php send the generated csv lines to the browser

    fpassthru($f);

  }

  

In your controller do

public function export(){

  $this->layout = false;

  $this->autoRender = false;

 

  $this->loadModel('CadastroMailing');

$conditions = array('OR'=>array('cadastro_mailing_tipo_id'=>$dados));

$result = $this->CadastroMailing->find('all',array( 'conditions'=>$conditions , 'order'=>array('nome ASC')));

  $this->array_to_csv_download($result, 'your_filename', $delimiter=",");

}

and that's it, it will generate a csv automatically when you click a link to that page.

Hi people!

Well, recently I started working with cakephp and I have a question to generate data for export in a CSV table to excel.

I created the view and controller, and I'm using the class https://github.com/FriendsOfCake/cakephp-csvview .

But when I click, nothing happens. What can be wrong in the process?

//função ajax para capturar o click, jogar no método PHP e retornar o link da planilha para download.
$(function(){

$("#botoes button").click(function(){

var botao = $(this).attr('data-download');

$.ajax({

url:webroot('leads/Leads/export'),

type:'post',

data:{

tipo: botao

},

success:function(r){

$("#botoes button [data-download="+botao+"]").removeClass('btn-danger');

$("#botoes button [data-download="+botao+"]").addClass('btn-success');

$("#botoes button [data-download="+botao+"]").val('Download');

},error:function(){

console.log('erro');

}

});

});

});

The method:

public function export(){

$dados = $this->param('tipo');

$this->loadModel('CadastroMailing');

$conditions = array('OR'=>array('cadastro_mailing_tipo_id'=>$dados));

$result = $this->CadastroMailing->find('all',array( 'conditions'=>$conditions , 'order'=>array('nome ASC')));

$_serialize = 'result';

$this->viewClass = 'CsvView.Csv';

             $this->set(compact('data', '_serialize'));

}

I would like the download automatically initiated after the click, but if you have to click the button also solves my problem.

Can help me?
