Syntax issues... escape the `"` by putting a \ behind the `"`. You're missing an `echo` before your last ` – IsThisJavascript Mar 29 '18 at 14:55

@BenoîtLatinier I want it to be exported using the id – user7213284 Mar 29 '18 at 15:00

I don't quite understand what you mean by "using the id". By the way do you seek to do it server side or client side? Some js solutions exists too: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17142427/javascript-to-export-html-table-to-excel – Benoît Latinier Mar 29 '18 at 15:03

you have a couple of options on each, some of which are these. There is though, no 'magic' wand method.
excel
use the most excellent PHPSpreadsheet (formerly PHPExcel)
for pdf
wkhtmltopdf
Use wkhtmltopdf. This requires that you have server root access but allows you to dump in HTML and get a PDF out that looks the same as the webpage would have done.
Wkhtmltopdf will also process CSS and parse js. So its very useful for making pdf's from dynamic output.
