Ave,
I'm trying to retrieve data from a DBF database and write it to a
CSV
file
in a comma delimited format. I'm able to get the data and write
it to
CSV,
but it only writes the last row/record ... not all the records. I
know I
don't have the correct code and I'm hoping someone can help me...
_____________
#CREATE CSV
$date = date('mdy');
$_file = 'CSV/TransferData_'.$date.'.csv';
$_fp = @fopen( $_file, 'w' );
#SELECT DBF TO OPEN - READ ONLY
$db = dbase_open("mydata.dbf", 0);
#PULL UP RECORD
if ($db) {
$record_numbers = dbase_numrecords($db);
for ($i = 1; $i <= $record_numbers; $i++) {
$row = dbase_get_record_with_names($db, $i);
#WRITE ROWS TO VARIABLE
$_csv_data =
trim($row['PHONE']).",".trim($row['DATE']).","."\n"; <-- THIS is
where my
problem is! This only writes the last row!!
}
}
#WRITE TO CSV
@fwrite( $_fp, $_csv_data );
@fclose( $_fp );
_____________
Thanks!

You are overwriting the variable ($csv_data) that holds the row,
add a
period (concatenator) operator to build the up the data
#WRITE ROWS TO VARIABLE
$_csv_data .=
trim($row['PHONE']).",".trim($row['DATE']).","."\n";
<-- THIS is where my problem is! This only writes the last row!!

AH!!! The Simplest Solution!! It works!!!! Absolutely 100% Perfect!!
Much Thanks :)
Or even simpler and won't build a huge string if you have millions of
rows, just move your fwrite() up into the loop to write each record to
the csv:
#WRITE ROWS TO VARIABLE AND WRITE LINE TO CSV
$_csv_data = trim($row['PHONE']).",".trim($row['DATE']).","."\n";
@fwrite( $_fp, $_csv_data );
