MySQL to Google Based Datafeed Converter PHP Script
Hello Friends !!
Currently I am working on one project in which I have to store data in Google Merchant Center.
This is a Google Product Search which is used for search any product around the world. Currently many shopping sites stores their products in Google Product Search.
For store data in google product search, Google supports txt file with tab seperated.
After some reserch I have made one PHP script which store data from MySQL table to txt file with tab seperated.
Here is the code for this :
if (!$_POST['submit']){
show_form();
}else{$table = $_POST['mytable'];
if (!eregi(“[a-z0-9_]{1,64}”,$table)){
show_form();
die(“disallowed_table name. if your tables names contain other characters, consider renaming them.”);
}//end if
if (!($conn2=mysql_connect(‘localhost’, ‘root’, ”))) {
printf(“error connecting to DB by user = $username and pwd=$pwd”);
exit();
}
$db2=mysql_select_db(‘edward_hootofloot’,$conn2) or die(“Unable to connect to local database”);
$sql = “select * from $table”;
$result = mysql_query($sql) or die (“Can’t complete query because “.mysql_error());
if (($result) && (mysql_num_rows($result)>0)){
//set the path and file name
//$dir=”/path/to/file/”;
$filename = “Ad_Details_”.date(“d_M_Y”);
if (!$handle = fopen($filename, ‘w’)) {
echo “Cannot open file ($filename)”;
exit;
}
while ($rows = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
$fields = mysql_num_fields($result);
$content = “”;
//calc the length of the line (number of elements)
for($x = 0; $x < $fields-1; $x++){
$content .= $rows[$x] . “ “;
}//next
echo “<br>”;
$content = substr($content, 0, strlen($content)-2). “\n”; //remove the last pipe as its not needed and adds the new line character
// Write $content to our opened file.
if (fwrite($handle, $content) === FALSE) {
echo “Cannot write to file ($filename)”;
exit;
}
}//end while
fclose($handle);
//call the function to force the download the users computer
force_download($filename);
}//end if
}//end if
function force_download($file)
{
//$dir=”/path/to/file/”;
if (isset($file)) {
header(“Content-type: application/force-download”);
header(“Content-Transfer-Encoding: Binary”);
header(“Content-length: “.filesize($file));
header(‘Content-Type: application/octet-stream’);
//header(“Content-disposition: attachment; filename=”".basename($file).”"”);
header(‘Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=”‘ . $file . ‘”.txt’);
readfile(“$file”);
} else {
echo “No file selected”;
} //end if
}//end function
function show_form()
{
echo “<html><body><h2> Table Data Exporter </h2>
<h4>Creates a pipe delimited file of the table contents.</h4>
<br><br><form name=myform method=post>
Table Name:<input type=text name=mytable>
<input type=submit name=submit value=Submit>
</form></body></html>”;
}
?>
