Poppe popup menu with phpexcel

I ran into the following problem.

I am trying to get some results from my database and I want to paste the results into a drop down list.

The example file in the example file was:

$objValidation->setFormula1('"Item A,Item B,Item C"');

therefore, the results should be separated by a comma, and the final results should be between "".

Here is the code:

 $configurations = Db::getInstance()->queryResults('SELECT * FROM configurations', array($siteNumber)); $objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->setCellValue('B7', "List:"); $configs = '"'; foreach($configurations as $config) { $configs .= $config->configuration_name . ', '; } $configs .= '"'; $objValidation = $objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->getCell('B8')->getDataValidation(); $objValidation->setType( PHPExcel_Cell_DataValidation::TYPE_LIST ); $objValidation->setErrorStyle( PHPExcel_Cell_DataValidation::STYLE_INFORMATION ); $objValidation->setAllowBlank(false); $objValidation->setShowInputMessage(true); $objValidation->setShowErrorMessage(true); $objValidation->setShowDropDown(true); $objValidation->setErrorTitle('Input error'); $objValidation->setError('Value is not in list.'); $objValidation->setPromptTitle('Pick from list'); //$objValidation->setPrompt('Please pick a value from the drop-down list.'); $objValidation->setFormula1($configs);

Does anyone have an idea why the dropdown is not populated?

Thanks in advance!

Here is the correct working code:

 <?php error_reporting(E_ALL); ini_set('display_errors', TRUE); ini_set('display_startup_errors', TRUE); define('EOL',(PHP_SAPI == 'cli') ? PHP_EOL : '<br />'); require_once dirname(__FILE__) . './PHPExcel.php'; echo date('H:i:s') , " Create new PHPExcel object" , EOL; $objPHPExcel = new PHPExcel(); $objPHPExcel->setActiveSheetIndex(0); $objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet() ->setCellValue('B5', "SELECT ITEM") ; $configs = "DUS800, DUG900+3xRRUS, DUW2100, 2xMU, SIU, DUS800+3xRRUS, DUG900+3xRRUS, DUW2100"; $objValidation = $objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->getCell('B5')->getDataValidation(); $objValidation->setType( PHPExcel_Cell_DataValidation::TYPE_LIST ); $objValidation->setErrorStyle( PHPExcel_Cell_DataValidation::STYLE_INFORMATION ); $objValidation->setAllowBlank(false); $objValidation->setShowInputMessage(true); $objValidation->setShowErrorMessage(true); $objValidation->setShowDropDown(true); $objValidation->setErrorTitle('Input error'); $objValidation->setError('Value is not in list.'); $objValidation->setPromptTitle('Pick from list'); $objValidation->setPrompt('Please pick a value from the drop-down list.'); $objValidation->setFormula1('"'.$configs.'"'); // Set active sheet index to the first sheet, so Excel opens this as the first sheet $objPHPExcel->setActiveSheetIndex(0); // Save Excel 95 file echo date('H:i:s') , " Write to Excel5 format" , EOL; $callStartTime = microtime(true); $objWriter = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createWriter($objPHPExcel, 'Excel5'); $objWriter->save('populate.xls'); ?>

It will be displayed on populate.php in the same directory as this script.

First of all, this is not setFormula1("'".$configs."'") . This is setFormula1('"'.$configs.'"') .

Secondly, you can miss something elsewhere, so you get ERR_CONNECTION_RESET . I published a working example in case you are missing something else in the code. If you posted all the code, I might know for sure.

Change the line

 $objValidation->setFormula1($configs);

to

 $objValidation->setFormula1("'".$configs."'");

Because in the structure, the data is in single quotes (').

Working code example

 $objValidation2 = $sheet -> getCell('E1') -> getDataValidation(); $objValidation2 -> setType(PHPExcel_Cell_DataValidation::TYPE_LIST); $objValidation2 -> setErrorStyle(PHPExcel_Cell_DataValidation::STYLE_INFORMATION); $objValidation2 -> setAllowBlank(true); $objValidation2 -> setShowInputMessage(true); $objValidation2 -> setShowErrorMessage(true); $objValidation2 -> setShowDropDown(true); $objValidation2 -> setErrorTitle('Invalid date'); $objValidation2 -> setError('Date is not in list.'); $objValidation2 -> setPromptTitle('Select DOB date'); $objValidation2 -> setPrompt('Please pick a date from the drop-down list.'); $dates = '"01,02,03,04,05,06,07,08,09,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31"'; $objValidation2 -> setFormula1("'".$dates."'");
