I'm currently trying to pull data from a database, to which it's then written to two separate sheets using PHPSpreadsheet. The problem that I have is that I can't download multiple files, and can't find a way to zip them.
How would I be able to save these spreadsheets into a file and load it into a ZIP? Below shows how it is written to a file:
function saveToFile($spreadsheet, $job_id) {
$filename = $job_id.'_space_validation-'.'.xlsx';
// Redirect output to a client's web browser (Xlsx)
header('Content-Type: application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment;filename="'.$filename.'"');
header('Cache-Control: max-age=0');
// If you're serving to IE 9, then the following may be needed
header('Cache-Control: max-age=1');
// If you're serving to IE over SSL, then the following may be needed
header('Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT'); // Date in the past
header('Last-Modified: ' . gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s') . ' GMT'); // always modified
header('Cache-Control: cache, must-revalidate'); // HTTP/1.1
header('Pragma: public'); // HTTP/1.
writeToFile($spreadsheet);
}
function writeToFile($spreadsheet) {
$writer = IOFactory::createWriter($spreadsheet, 'Xlsx');
$writer->save('php://output');
}
EDIT: I've been looking through the code for the function 'save'. This code is a little advanced for me but from what I can see it creates a temporary file and writes all the data to it. I don't know how, but I figure that if I can get this temp file I might be able to send it to a zip file. Here's the code below for this function:
public function save($pFilename)
{
if ($this->spreadSheet !== null) {
// garbage collect
$this->spreadSheet->garbageCollect();
// If $pFilename is php://output or php://stdout, make it a temporary file...
$originalFilename = $pFilename;
if (strtolower($pFilename) == 'php://output' || strtolower($pFilename) == 'php://stdout') {
$pFilename = @tempnam(File::sysGetTempDir(), 'phpxltmp');
if ($pFilename == '') {
$pFilename = $originalFilename;
}
}
$saveDebugLog = Calculation::getInstance($this->spreadSheet)->getDebugLog()->getWriteDebugLog();
Calculation::getInstance($this->spreadSheet)->getDebugLog()->setWriteDebugLog(false);
$saveDateReturnType = Functions::getReturnDateType();
Functions::setReturnDateType(Functions::RETURNDATE_EXCEL);
// Create string lookup table
$this->stringTable = [];
for ($i = 0; $i < $this->spreadSheet->getSheetCount(); ++$i) {
$this->stringTable = $this->getWriterPart('StringTable')->createStringTable($this->spreadSheet->getSheet($i), $this->stringTable);
}
// Create styles dictionaries
$this->styleHashTable->addFromSource($this->getWriterPart('Style')->allStyles($this->spreadSheet));

// Create drawing dictionary
$this->drawingHashTable->addFromSource($this->getWriterPart('Drawing')->allDrawings($this->spreadSheet));
$zip = new ZipArchive();
if (file_exists($pFilename)) {
unlink($pFilename);
}
// Try opening the ZIP file
if ($zip->open($pFilename, ZipArchive::OVERWRITE) !== true) {
if ($zip->open($pFilename, ZipArchive::CREATE) !== true) {

Please help!
AFTER MANY HOURS OF SEARCHING I FOUND THE SOLUTION TO THIS!
For any of you that need this... I resolved my problem like this:
$writer = IOFactory::createWriter($spreadsheet, 'Xlsx');
// Create a temporary file of and write our data to it
$excel_file_tmp = tempnam("/tmp", 'tmp');
$writer->save($excel_file_tmp);
// Now zip the file and move the temporary file to it
$zip_file_tmp = tempnam("/tmp", 'tmp');
$zip = new ZipArchive();
$zip->open($zip_file_tmp, ZipArchive::OVERWRITE);
$zip->addFile($excel_file_tmp, $job_id.'-space_capture_data.xlsx');
$zip->close();
