[PHP] Exporting from Multiple mySQL Tables into One

[Rahul S. Johari]

Ave,

I¹m not sure how to execute this. I can easily write a long, tedious code to
handle each table separately, but I¹m sure there is an Array/For Each way to
do this. 

I¹ve got 6 mySQL tables. I¹ve written a code that dumps data from each table
into one corresponding DBF table. While writing to the DBF, I also add a
field & a value to it identifying the table.
I need to dump data from all the mySQL tables into one DBF table, and also
have that added field & identifier value added to each table¹s data.

Here¹s my code to export from 1 mySQL table into 1 DBF table.
($tChoice & $bx are Table Name & Identifier Value that are passed on from a
previous page):

    // database "definition"
    $def = array(
      array("phone","C", 10),
      array("comments","C", 254),
      array("starttime","C", 10),
      array("endtime","C", 10),
      array("dispo","C", 80),
      array("lo", "C", 50),
      array("verifier", "C", 50),
      array("branch","C",3)
    );
            
    // creation
    if (!dbase_create('dbf/'.$bx.'.dbf', $def)) {
      echo "<BR><BR>Error, can't create the database<BR><BR>";
    }
                   
    // open in read-write mode
    $db2 = dbase_open("dbf/".$bx.".dbf", 2);
    if ($db2) {
      
mysql_select_db($database_imslead_transfer, $imslead_transfer);
$query_loDispo = "SELECT * FROM $tChoice";
$loDispo = mysql_query($query_loDispo, $imslead_transfer) or
die(mysql_error());
$row_loDispo = mysql_fetch_assoc($loDispo);
$totalRows_loDispo = mysql_num_rows($loDispo);

      // write mySql data to Dbf
      do {
         dbase_add_record($db2, array(
             $row_loDispo['phone'],
             $row_loDispo['comments'],
             $row_loDispo['starttime'],
             $row_loDispo['endtime'],
             $row_loDispo['dispo'],
             $row_loDispo['loanofficer'],
             $row_loDispo['verifier'],
             $bx));
         } while ($row_loDispo = mysql_fetch_assoc($loDispo));
         
    dbase_close($db2);
    }
    
    mysql_free_result($loDispo);
    header("Location: dbf/$bx.dbf");

Now I just need to write a code which takes data from each table, one by
one, and appends it to the DBF, alongwith adding a field that carries the
Identifier Value for each table.

Any suggestions?
