PhoneGap



1. First, check you’ve got Java and Ant installed – you’ll need those later:

sudo apt-get install default-jre
sudo apt-get install default-jdk
sudo apt-get install ant

2. Install npm
sudo apt-get install npm

3. Get the latest nodejs (by installing ‘n’ and running that):
sudo npm update npm -g
sudo npm install n -g
sudo n stable

4. Now install phonegap itself
sudo npm install -g phonegap

5. Download the Android sdk from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html, put it somewhere sensible and unpack it:
sudo mv ~/Downloads/adt-bundle-linux-x86-20130917.zip /opt/
cd /opt
sudo unzip adt-bundle-linux-x86-20130917.zip
sudo chmod -R 777 /opt/adt-bundle-linux-x86-20130917

6. Update PATH in ~/.bashrc to include the phonegap tools:
# Add android sdk
PATH=$PATH:/opt/adt-bundle-linux-x86-20130917/sdk/platform-tools:/opt/adt-bundle-linux-x86-20130917/sdk/tools

and then ‘source ~/.bashrc’ to make sure you’ve got the new path setup.

7. Create a phonegap app (I use a “projects” subdirectoy):
cd ~/projects
phonegap create my-app
cd my-app

8. Before you run the app, you’ll need to set up an emulator – run the android tool:
android

9. You may need to select a target (e.g. “Android 4.2.2 (API 17)”), and click the “Install 8 packages..” button (may need several clicks to accept all the licences)

Now setup and start an emulator – in the ‘android’ util, go to Tools -> Manage AVDs, go to the “Device Definitions”, select a device, and use the “Create AVD” button to create a new AVD. Then use the “Start..” button to start the AVD (it may take a surprisingly long time to start fully).

Run the app:
phonegap local run android

You should see the app compile and install on the emulator.

You can do the compile and install steps separately:
phonegap local build android
phonegap install android

10. Add plugins
Optional Step
phonegap local plugin add https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/cordova-plugin-device.git
phonegap local plugin add https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/cordova-plugin-media.git

PHPExcelReader.
PHPExcelReader.


To import Excel data, first you need to have a Excel reader. It should be accurate enough to interpret Excel data as expected. There 's a good old Excel reader.

Download PHPExcelReader.

In the downloaded archive, you only need Excel directory with files including oleread.inc and reader.php.

Just extract it where your web server can access.

Next place your excel file or just create one with some dummy data. Make sure this file is readble by the web server.

Finally create your php script to connect with database, read Excel file and insert data into db.



<?php

require_once 'Excel/reader.php';

$data = new Spreadsheet_Excel_Reader();

$data->setOutputEncoding('CP1251');

$data->read('a.xls');



$conn = mysql_connect("localhost","root","");

mysql_select_db("test",$conn);



for ($x = 2; $x <= count($data->sheets[0]["cells"]); $x++) {

$first = $data->sheets[0]["cells"][$x][1];

$middle = $data->sheets[0]["cells"][$x][2];

$last = $data->sheets[0]["cells"][$x][3];

$sql = "INSERT INTO mytable (First,Middle,Last)

VALUES ('$first','$middle','$last')";

echo $sql."\n";

mysql_query($sql);

}



?>

1. Export to PDF


There are various PHP libraries to create PDF documents. FPDF, MPDF, DomPDF, HTML2PDF are among those popular ones. Each of them has some sort of uniqueness in terms of functionality. This tutorial is just a demo of FPDF using official distribution.
