Export Mysql data to CSV (also from diferent tables)

Mar 13th, 2009

Hello,
Im new to that kind of code so forgive me.

I have 3 diferent tables

players:
id_player
name_player

players_details:
id_player
position
age

players_eval:
id_player
value
wage

You can see that the ‘id_player’ is in all tables. Now, what i want to do is export on csv and if the ‘id_player’ is the same number with the other tables to continew and show the rest of the info i have on the mysql. Also i would like when the 'id_player' to rename to Player ID on the excel file or 'age' to Age etc.

This is the code im using
