I want to export mysql with Php (CodeIgniter) in excel format, but I have problem with UFT-8 characters. it shows the UTF-8 characters ugly.
It is my code
class Excel extends CI_controller{
function index(){
$this->load->model('user_model');
$data = $this->user_model->profile_detail_excel();
function cleanData(&$str)
{
$str = preg_replace("/\t/", "\\t", $str);
$str = preg_replace("/?
/", "\
", $str);
if(strstr($str, '"')) $str = '"' . str_replace('"', '""', $str) . '"';
$str = chr(255).chr(254).mb_convert_encoding( $str, 'UTF-16LE', 'UTF-8');
}
// filename for download
$filename = "website_data_" . date('Ymd') . ".xls";
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$filename\"");
header("Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel; charset=UTF-16LE");
$flag = false;
foreach($data as $row) {
if(!$flag) {
// display field/column names as first row
echo implode("\t", array_keys($row)) . "
";
$flag = true;
}
array_walk($row, 'cleanData');
echo implode("\t", array_values($row)) . "
";
}
exit;
}
I appreciate any help
