<?php

Hi! I need help!

So.. I have a file axWrite.php that will get the values from a web-based study I created, but I want to add a download button to get a csv file with the content when I open each file.

For example, from this picture: Picture of the files created from axWrite.php I want to be able to either download when I click the link or when I enter the file I can have a button to download to a csv file inside the page Inside the page with the get values

I have tried:

$filename = $name.".csv";
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$filename\"");
header("Content-Type: text/csv; charset=UTF-16LE");
$out = fopen("php://output",'w');

but it doesnt do anything because it only creates a blank page when i hit on axWrite.php.

Any help would be helpful!

Thanks,

Alexander Arevalo

your link or button needs to use your PHP function. Try with that, you can choose between link or button. You can choose between echo + file_get_contents or readfile. I don't remember very well, but the idea is something like this.

/* html - 2 alternatives */ 
<button type="button" onclick="location.href='your-file.php?params=some'">Your text</button>
<a href="your-file.php?params=some">Your text</a>



/* php echo or readfile */
$filename = $name.".csv";
header("Content-Type: text/csv; charset=UTF-16LE");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment;filename=$filename");
echo file_get_contents($filename);
readfile($filename);
exit()
