Bruno,
If you email me at webmaster@friendsofsilverbrook.org, I'll send you screenshots of how I set up the download for CSV on this page: Photos To Reshoot (friendsofsilverbrook.org).
After getting stuck with the Download option, I took a different approach. I save the CSV file to disk upon entering the form. Then I have a button that references the CSV file. For 1,000 rows it's fast enough.
Thanks,
--Bob.
Hi Bob, sorry for the delayed response. Your solution is good, but it doesn't fit my needs. I tried creating a PHP script for downloading the CSV. It works, but I still have the issue of the page freezing (a refresh fixes it though). Here’s the script; it has the advantage of exporting all table fields without having to define them beforehand.
As you’ll see, I also tried redirecting to a page after the download, but it still freezes. :)
Ciao @BrunoPigi ,
per caso sei riuscito a risolvere in qualche modo?
Io ho lo stesso tuo problema, ma la pagina rimane freezata anche se inserisco redirect in javascript o php.
Grazie,lorenzo.
The easiest way to do this is to do a redirect with a "delay", the redirect should be to the page with the download, in some cases this page should be a different form
Hi Max,
thanks for your reply, but i don't know if i undestand your suggestion.
Now i have a page with a submit button that refrs at the submit page where i locate the php script.
I tried to put a redirect with 5 seconds before the php script but when the page breaks down, the redirect doesn't work.
Can you please explain step by step your suggestion?
Thanks a lot,
Lorenzo.
the delayed redirect may not work if the page "breaks down", why does the page break down ?
