File name is longer than the maximum allowed path length on this platform (4096) about laravel-excel HOT 10 CLOSED

Hey,

Thanks for sending in the issue.

I can't reproduce this issue on my local LAMP stack. I don't think it's a phpExcel issue, but more a server issue.
I tried it with a title of over 1000 characters and it doesn't throw any error.

Which platform do you use? Is it local (LAMP/MAMP/WAMP) or (dedicated/shared) Centos/IIS/... server?
Does the same export work with a shorter smaller filename? What happens when you only show 10 rows (Inschrijving::take(10)->get() )

from laravel-excel.

How many collumns have you tried?
When I have more then 7 collumns, it throws this error.
I'll test it on my local server, to see if it's server related.
The filename has nothing to do with it, I tried a variety of names!

from laravel-excel.

14 columns and 747 rows.

If it's not a server issue, could you provide more of the stack trace. (Screenshot of Whoops would be nice)

On my local server it seems to work...

I would suggest contacting your hosting provider with this problem, could be as simple as a server setting.

I build in a fallback for loadView so it won't use is_file(). Maybe it fixes the issue already at your live server.

Let me know.

Yep, that seems to fix it! But whem I try to export a somewhat longer row, I get an htmlParseEntityRef() error.

Hey

Apparently there's a parsing error in your HTML.
I Could only reproduce the error by echoing a &-sign.
Did some googling and apparently this error is triggered by parsing the &-sign (instead of &)

I silenced the warning of the loadHTML(), so you code will run without the error, but I would advice you to escape the HTML characters so no parsing errors are triggered. (Using triple braces: {{{ }}} on the fields which have these characters (especially the &) )

It's working fine now! Thanks for the advice, I'll keep it in mind!

Great! :)
