AW: [PHP] export mysql to csv prob

Hi, Probably the Pear Excel_Syltesheet_Writer works for you. http://pear.php.net/package/Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer I found out that it is faster with huge data sets on my system.

".xls"); print $csv_output; this works fine, except that when i expand the line $csv_output .="$row[userid] $row[firstname] $row[lastname] $row[anotherfield] $row[anotherfield] ...\n"} -to include an increasing number of fields, it tends to bog down the speed at which the $csv_output file can be printed. when i have this line output 30+ fields for each row, wait time for output file generation is almost 4-5 minutes. is this the most efficient way to do this? i'd like to be able to generate the file as quickly as possible. thanks redmond -- Redmond Militante Software Engineer / Medill School of Journalism FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE-p10 #0: Wed Sep 29 17:17:49 CDT 2004 i386 4:45PM up 4:01, 3 users, load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
