Export products from Mysql Magento - parsing

Question

I have some problems with Magento DB, i cannot match the attributes for my custom products export file.
I need help to get attributes, i have finished this script only with this header
But attribute_set, visibility and size_cloth is returning number not name. maybe this can be resolved with a match function.
I need to get more attributes, ex: category_ids, i cannot get this...
color, size_shoes, size_etc.
Please check my script.
'store', '_website', 'attribute_set', 'type', 'sku', 'name', 'description', 'short_description', 'visibility', 'has_option', 'price', 'special_price', 'size_cloth', 'link', 'image'
<?php
//Setup Connection information
$dbhost = 'localhost';
$dbuser = 'user';
$dbpass = 'pass';
//Connect to the database
$conn = mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass) or die('Error connecting to mysql');
//Point to specific DB
$dbname = 'database_name';
mysql_select_db($dbname);
//Create the Query to get the products
$sql = "SELECT DISTINCT P.attribute_set_id, P.type_id, P.sku, P.has_options, V.value AS Name, T1.value AS ProdDesc, T2.value AS ShortDesc,
T5.value AS visibility, D.value AS Price, S.value AS Special_Price, SIZE_CLOTH.value AS size_cloth, CONCAT('http://www.website.com/', V1.value) AS Link,
CASE
WHEN V2.Value IS NULL
THEN NULL
ELSE CONCAT('http://www.website.com/media/catalog/product', V2.value)
END AS Image
FROM catalog_product_entity AS P INNER JOIN
catalog_product_entity_varchar AS V ON P.entity_id = V.entity_id AND V.attribute_id = 60 LEFT JOIN
catalog_product_entity_varchar AS V1 ON P.entity_id = V1.entity_id AND V1.attribute_id = 87 LEFT JOIN
catalog_product_entity_varchar AS V2 ON P.entity_id = V2.entity_id AND V2.attribute_id = 74 LEFT JOIN
catalog_product_entity_text AS T1 ON P.entity_id = T1.entity_id AND T1.attribute_id = 61 LEFT JOIN

catalog_product_entity_int AS T5 ON P.entity_id = T5.entity_id AND T5.attribute_id = 91 LEFT JOIN
catalog_product_entity_decimal AS D ON P.entity_id = D.entity_id AND D.attribute_id = 64 LEFT JOIN
catalog_product_entity_int AS SIZE_CLOTH ON P.entity_id = SIZE_CLOTH.entity_id AND SIZE_CLOTH.attribute_id = 122 LEFT JOIN
catalog_product_entity_decimal AS S ON P.entity_id = S.entity_id AND S.attribute_id = 65";
//Run the query
$query = mysql_query($sql);
//But after this i will prepare the csv file for export.
$file = fopen('products_export.csv', 'w');
// Custom header for csv file
$header = array('store', '_website', 'attribute_set', 'type', 'sku', 'name', 'description', 'short_description', 'visibility', 'has_option', 'price', 'special_price', 'size_cloth', 'link', 'image');
// this will arrange all data by comma
fputcsv($file, $header, ',', '"');
//Loop through and print each products info
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($query))
{
$item = array();
$value1 = ("admin");
$value2 = ("base");
$value3 = ($row['attribute_set_id']);
$value4 = ($row['type_id']);
$value5 = ($row['sku']);
$value6 = ($row['Name']);
$value7 = ($row['ProdDesc']);
$value8 = ($row['ShortDesc']);
$value9 = ($row['visibility']);
$value10 = ($row['has_options']);
$value11 = ($row['Price']);
$value111 = ($row['Special_Price']);
$value112 = ($row['size_cloth']);
$value12 = ($row['Link']);
//$value13 = ($row['Image']);
$item[] = $value1;
$item[] = $value2;
$item[] = $value3;
$item[] = $value4;
$item[] = $value5;
$item[] = $value6;
$item[] = $value7;
$item[] = $value8;
$item[] = $value9;
$item[] = $value10;
$item[] = $value11;
$item[] = $value111;
$item[] = $value112;
$item[] = $value12;
// put all data in csv file
fputcsv($file, $item, ',', '"');
}
{
// close csv file and finish.
fclose($file);
}
?>
I think that the best solution will be the data.
Example:
if ( $value112 == need to array the list of numbers, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) {
echo "S, M, L, XL";
} else {
echo " ";
}
But i dont know how to insert this to my array items...

Answer 1

Interacting directly with Magento's DB wouldn't be my 1st choice.
Alternatives that actually work:
Use Magento Import/Export module
Use Magento Dataflow Import/Export
Use Magento's product collection to generate the export file
