So, I'm a fairly new PHP programmer and I'm trying to set up a page that uploads a file, displays the info in a table, then writes the data to a database.
I've got these things working (I found some helpful code online) however my dates are displaying incorrectly.
For example, the date "2/15/2017 17:55" is displaying as "42781.746527778".
Here is the code:
try {
$inputFileType = PHPExcel_IOFactory::identify($inputFileName);
$objReader = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createReader($inputFileType);
$objPHPExcel = $objReader->load($inputFileName);
} catch (Exception $e) {
die('Error loading file "' . pathinfo($inputFileName, PATHINFO_BASENAME)
. '": ' . $e->getMessage());
}
echo '<center><table style="width:50%;" border=1>';
$sheet = $objPHPExcel->getSheet(0);
$highestRow = $sheet->getHighestRow();
$highestColumn = $sheet->getHighestColumn();
for ($row = 1; $row <= $highestRow; $row++) {
$rowData = $sheet->rangeToArray('A' . $row . ':' . $highestColumn . $row,
NULL, TRUE, FALSE);
echo "<tr>";
foreach($rowData[0] as $k=>$v)
echo "<td>".$v."</td>";
echo "</tr>";
}
echo '</table></center>';
}
else{
echo '<p style="color:red;">Please upload file with xlsx extension only.</p>';
}
I get why it is displaying the date that way, however I'm not having luck in fixing it when trying to display the entire column as a date and time, or displaying it in a single cell as the correct date and time.
var_dump($objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->getCell('B2')->getFormattedValue());
This code displays the correct date and time for one of my sample spreadsheets, however I'm not able to get that value in the cell.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
I believe this is what you are looking for? Check if the cell is a Excel date and time then extract and convert the Excel date to a PHP date.
if(PHPExcel_Shared_Date::isDateTime($k)) {
$v = date('Y-m-d', PHPExcel_Shared_Date::ExcelToPHP($v));
}
I am trying to write mySQL data into Exlcel using PHPExcel, but I am getting file format is invalid in my above PHP code using PHPExcel. Can someone please help me to find out what is wrong in code:
$query = "SELECT company_id, userid FROM uam_user";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die ("Error in Query".mysql_error());
// Instantiate a new PHPExcel object
$objPHPExcel = new PHPExcel();
// Set document properties
$objPHPExcel->getProperties()->setCreator("Security Team")
->setLastModifiedBy("System")
->setTitle("System")
->setSubject("System Security")
->setDescription("Non Production user Upload Data")
->setKeywords("User Upload")
->setCategory("Security");
// Set the active Excel worksheet to sheet 0
$objPHPExcel->setActiveSheetIndex(0);
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->SetCellValue("A1", 'company_id');
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->SetCellValue("B2", 'userid');
//start of printing column names as names of MySQL fields
$rowCount = 2;
//$num_rows = mysql_num_rows($result);
//echo $num_rows;
$i = 0;
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)){
if ($row['userid'] != '')
{
//echo "A$rowCount=".$row['company_id']."|B$rowCount=".$row['userid']."<br>";
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->SetCellValue("A$rowCount",$row['company_id']);
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->SetCellValue("B$rowCount",$row['userid']);
}
$rowCount++;
//echo $rowCount;
}
$objWriter = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createWriter($objPHPExcel, 'Excel2007');
header('Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment;filename="item_list.xlsx"');
header('Cache-Control: max-age=0');
ob_end_clean();
$objWriter->save ( 'php://output' );
I want to delete all rows that start with "//", from Excel sheet, with PHPExcel.
My code:
require '../Classes/PHPExcel.php';
require_once '../Classes/PHPExcel/IOFactory.php';
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_STRICT & ~E_NOTICE);
$path = "del_head.xls";
$objPHPExcel = PHPExcel_IOFactory::load($path);
$objWorksheet = $objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet();
$highestRow = $objWorksheet->getHighestRow();
$highestColumn = $objWorksheet->getHighestColumn();
$highestColumnIndex = PHPExcel_Cell::columnIndexFromString($highestColumn);
for($row=1; $row < $highestRow; ++$row){
$value = $objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->getCell('A'.$row)->getValue();
if (substr($value,0,2) == "//") {
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->removeRow($row, $row);
}
}
$objWriter = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createWriter($objPHPExcel, "Excel2007");
$objWriter->save($path);
But, the code not delete all rows that start with "//".
I think the problem is with function 'removeRow'.
Thank you very much in advance.
Replace this line
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->removeRow($row, $row);
with
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->removeRow($row);
There's one obvious problem with your call to removeRow(): The first argument is the starting row, the second is the number of rows to remove; so if you find a // at row 5, then you're telling PHPExcel to remove 5 rows starting from row 5 (i.e. rows 5 to 9).
You're also reading a file with a .xls extension (assuming that it's a BIFF file from the extension), but saving with the same .xls filename as an OfficeOpenXML file (which is normally a .xlsx file).
So what format actually is your file? What does a call to the IOFactory's identify() method recognise it as? If it's actually a comma- or tab-separated value file (most likely to have a leading //), then you'd be better using PHP's fgetcsv() and fputcsv() functions to process it to remove those lines.
Try this code, Its worked me
$filename = 'path/example.xls';
$objReader = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createReader('Excel2007');
$objPHPExcel = $objReader->load($filename);
$objWorksheet = $objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet();
$row_id = 1; // deleted row id
$number_rows = 2; // number of rows count
if ($objWorksheet != NULL) {
if ($objWorksheet->removeRow($row_id, $number_rows)) {
$objWriter = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createWriter($objPHPExcel, 'Excel2007');
$objWriter->save($filename);
}
}
Please, check the value assigned on line:
$highestRow = $objWorksheet->getHighestRow();
I've tested this code and the value is always 1
Before reading anything else, please take time to read the original thread.
Overview: a .xfdl file is a gzipped .xml file which has then been encoded in base64. I wish to de-encode the .xfdl into xml which I can then modify and then re-encode back into a .xfdl file.
xfdl > xml.gz > xml > xml.gz > xfdl
I have been able to take a .xfdl file and de-encode it from base64 using uudeview:
uudeview -i yourform.xfdl
Then decommpressed it using gunzip
gunzip -S "" < UNKNOWN.001 > yourform-unpacked.xml
The xml produced is 100% readable and looks wonderful. Without modifying the xml then, i should be able to re-compress it using gzip:
gzip yourform-unpacked.xml
Then re-encoded in base-64:
base64 -e yourform-unpacked.xml.gz yourform_reencoded.xfdl
If my thinking is correct, the original file and the re-encoded file should be equal. If I put yourform.xfdl and yourform_reencoded.xfdl into beyond compare, however, they do not match up. Also, the original file can be viewed in an http://www.grants.gov/help/download_software.jsp#pureedge">.xfdl viewer. The viewer says that the re-encoded xfdl is unreadable.
I have also tried uuenview to re-encode in base64, it also produces the same results. Any help would be appreciated.
As far as I know you cannot find the compression level of an already compressed file. When you are compressing the file you can specify the compression level with -# where the # is from 1 to 9 (1 being the fastest compression and 9 being the most compressed file). In practice you should never compare a compressed file with one that has been extracted and recompressed, slight variations can easily crop up. In your case I would compare the base64 encoded versions instead of the gzip'd versions.
Check these out:

They are in Python, not Ruby, but that should get you pretty close.
And the algorithm is actually for files with header 'application/x-xfdl;content-encoding="asc-gzip"' rather than 'application/vnd.xfdl; content-encoding="base64-gzip"'
But the good news is that PureEdge (aka IBM Lotus Forms) will open that format with no problem.
Then to top it off, here's a base64-gzip decode (in Python) so you can make the full round-trip:
with open(filename, 'r') as f:
header = f.readline()
if header == 'application/vnd.xfdl; content-encoding="base64-gzip"\n':
decoded = b''
for line in f:
decoded += base64.b64decode(line.encode("ISO-8859-1"))
xml = zlib.decompress(decoded, zlib.MAX_WBITS + 16)
I did this in Java with the help of the Base64 class from http://iharder.net/base64.
I've been working on an application to do form manipulation in Java. I decode the file, create an DOM document from the XML then write it back to file.
My code in Java to read the file looks like this:
public XFDLDocument(String inputFile)
throws IOException,
ParserConfigurationException,
SAXException
{
fileLocation = inputFile;
try{
//create file object
File f = new File(inputFile);
if(!f.exists()) {
throw new IOException("Specified File could not be found!");
}
//open file stream from file
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(inputFile);
//Skip past the MIME header
fis.skip(FILE_HEADER_BLOCK.length());
//Decompress from base 64
Base64.InputStream bis = new Base64.InputStream(fis,
Base64.DECODE);
//UnZIP the resulting stream
GZIPInputStream gis = new GZIPInputStream(bis);
DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder db = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
doc = db.parse(gis);
gis.close();
bis.close();
fis.close();
}
catch (ParserConfigurationException pce) {
throw new ParserConfigurationException("Error parsing XFDL from file.");
}
catch (SAXException saxe) {
throw new SAXException("Error parsing XFDL into XML Document.");
}
}
My code in java looks like this to write the file to disk:
/**
* Saves the current document to the specified location
* #param destination Desired destination for the file.
* #param asXML True if output needs should be as un-encoded XML not Base64/GZIP
* #throws IOException File cannot be created at specified location
* #throws TransformerConfigurationExample
* #throws TransformerException
*/
public void saveFile(String destination, boolean asXML)
throws IOException,
TransformerConfigurationException,
TransformerException
{
BufferedWriter bf = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(destination));
bf.write(FILE_HEADER_BLOCK);
bf.newLine();
bf.flush();
bf.close();
OutputStream outStream;
if(!asXML) {
outStream = new GZIPOutputStream(
new Base64.OutputStream(
new FileOutputStream(destination, true)));
} else {
outStream = new FileOutputStream(destination, true);
}
Transformer t = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();
t.transform(new DOMSource(doc), new StreamResult(outStream));
outStream.flush();
outStream.close();
}
Hope that helps.
I've been working on something like that and this should work for php. You must have a writable tmp folder and the php file be named example.php!

You'll need to put the following line at the beginning of the XFDL file:
application/vnd.xfdl; content-encoding="base64-gzip"
After you've generated the base64-encoded file, open it in a text editor and paste the line above on the first line. Ensure that the base64'ed block starts at the beginning of the second line.
Save it and try it in the Viewer! If it still does not work, it may be that the changes that were made to the XML made it non-compliant in some manner. In this case, after the XML has been modified, but before it has been gzipped and base64 encoded, save it with an .xfdl file extension and try opening it with the Viewer tool. The viewer should be able to parse and display the uncompressed / unencoded file if it is in a valid XFDL format.
Different implementations of the gzip algorithm will always produce slightly different but still correct files, also the compression level of the original file may be different then what you are running it at.
gzip will put the filename in the header of file, so that a gzipped file vary in length depending on the filename of the uncompressed file.
If gzip acts on a stream, the filename is omitted and the file is a bit shorter, so the following should work:
gzip yourform-unpacked.xml.gz
Then re-encoded in base-64:
base64 -e yourform-unpacked.xml.gz yourform_reencoded.xfdl
maybe this will produce a file of the same length
Interesting, I'll give it a shot. The variations aren't slight, however. The newly encoded file is longer and when comparing the binary of the before and after, the data hardly matches up at all.
