exportdata exporting empty file

[walker1234Participant]

1) So I did the following in my code:

 $_("#excelExport").click(function() {
            	 
     $_("#search_results_panel_grid").jqxGrid('exportdata', 'xls', 'Search_Results',true,null,true,'http://myserver.com/save-file.php');
                 
            });

And when I tried to download the file, it downloaded an empty xls file, why is it like this?

2) Secondly the sample code mentioned here (https://www.jqwidgets.com/jquery-widgets-documentation/documentation/jqxgrid/jquery-grid-api.htm?search=grid)shows

$("#jqxGrid").jqxGrid('exportdata', 'json', 'jqxGrid', true, null, true, http://www.myserver.com/save-file.php);

The URL is not inside single or double quotes. Is that an error? Because my editor complains if I don’t put single quotes just like I have shown above.

Hi walker1234,

The ‘http://myserver.com/save-file.php’ part is a sample. You should replace it with the URL where you uploaded the file.

I am already using my server URL and it’s generating empty file. Please read my questions again carefully and answer.

Yes, i read it and the previous answer is still valid.

The string should be replaced with your url.
And when you do that check whether your server can run php.

Regards,
Peter

Hi walker1234, I had the same issue and I just replaced save-file.php with dataexport.php
