I created a php code that performs a twitter search and saves the result (100 tweets) in a database. In this code, I also have the option to select all tweets from the database and export them to a csv file.
However, if the tweet has a line break it will stay that way in csv: What do I do to save this tweet in just one line of csv (delete line break )
This is my code that exports tweets to csv:
// Database Connection
$host="xxxxxx";
$uname="xxxxx";
$pass="xxxxxx";
$database = "xxxxxx";
$connection=mysql_connect($host,$uname,$pass);
echo mysql_error();
//or die("Database Connection Failed");
$selectdb=mysql_select_db($database) or die("Database could not be selected");
$result=mysql_select_db($database)
or die("database cannot be selected <br>");
// Fetch Record from Database
$output = "";
$table = "tabela_tweets_novo"; // Enter Your Table Name
$sql = mysql_query("select tweet from $table");
$columns_total = mysql_num_fields($sql);
// Get The Field Name
for ($i = 0; $i < $columns_total; $i++) {
$heading = mysql_field_name($sql, $i);
$output .= '"'.$heading.'",';
}
$output .="\n";
// Get Records from the table
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)) {
for ($i = 0; $i < $columns_total; $i++) {
$acentua = utf8_decode($row["$i"]);
$output .='"'.$acentua.'",';
}
$output .="\n";
}
// Download the file
$filename = "UUXPost.csv";
header('Content-type: application/csv');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='.$filename);
echo $output;
exit;
I made one with PDO that had no problem with line breaking, see if it helps you. https://gist.github.com/rafa-acioly/0718d3a5d5b377108052

I just want to remind you that the
mysql_*
is being discontinued for security reasons. I recommend usingmysqli_*
or PDO.– Ivan Ferrer
