php.ini Setting and Resulting Exported HTML-coded Excel Spreadsheet File
Please note that if the "short_open_tag" in the /etc/php.ini file of a server (of this web client plugin) is NOT set to* "on*", then the resulting exported HTML-coded Excel spreadsheet may be just a blank file.
...
- or change line 15 of the SaveToExcel.php file,
from
toNo Format <body><?=$_REQUEST['datatodisplay']?>No Format <body><?php echo $_REQUEST['datatodisplay']?>
Of these, we recommend updating the /etc/php.ini file.
BTW, after either change, one may need to clear clear the browser cache (close & restart browser session) to ensure the change takes effect.
Furthermore, if this "blank file" problem persists, then try the following:
- check for and remove any extraneous "short_open_tag = Off" lines in the /etc/php.ini file
- check for and remove any extraneous "short_open_tag = Off" lines in other files in the /etc/php.d directory
- try to restart both the php-fpm (if applicable) & the Apache services:
No Format /etc/init.d/php-fpm restart, (or service php-fpm restart) /etc/init.d/httpd restart, (or service httpd restart) - then run
No Format chkconfig httpd on chkconfig php-fpm on - then check to ensure:
should result in something like short_open_tag => On => OnNo Format php \-i \| grep short_open_tag
