Excel Writer (XML) for PHP Reviews

Thank you for your work.

sorry i was op the wrong repos

Excellent Library. only 1 problem with the "MergeAcross" tag for OpenOffice.. the bug they never resolved, apparently... :S So what I did was rewriting the "ExcelWriterXML_Sheet.php" at lines 320. Replaced it with this block of code: else { /* the block below replaces the original line -- this prevents OpenOffice from acting up on MergeAcross=0*/ if ($this->mergeCells[$row][$column]['width']>0 && $this->mergeCells[$row][$column]['height']>0) $mergeCell = 'ss:MergeAcross="'.$this->mergeCells[$row][$column]['width'].'" ss:MergeDown="'.$this->mergeCells[$row][$column]['height'].'"'; elseif ($this->mergeCells[$row][$column]['width']>0 && $this->mergeCells[$row][$column]['height']<1) $mergeCell = 'ss:MergeAcross="'.$this->mergeCells[$row][$column]['width'].'"'; elseif ($this->mergeCells[$row][$column]['width']<1 && $this->mergeCells[$row][$column]['height']>0) $mergeCell = ' ss:MergeDown="'.$this->mergeCells[$row][$column]['height'].'"'; } /* original line commented out */ //$mergeCell = 'ss:MergeAcross="'.$this->mergeCells[$row][$column]['width'].'" ss:MergeDown="'.$this->mergeCells[$row][$column]['height'].'"'; Hope it help others like me who are using OO ;)

A simple, self-contained solution to creating formatted Excel spreadsheets. To improve security, I put the database connection function outside document root and provided additional functions, query_to_sheet and table_to_sheet, that do not require db, user, and password parameters.

It's simple to use. Cuts to the point. No need to install various libraries etc. Simply amazing.

Was previously using the Pear Spreadsheet/Excel/Writer, but on large files it was taking an age, by comparison on a 10,000 line xls, this took 4 secs as apposed to 4 mins!

Very efficient and simple to use. Excelent for those who need to export workbooks with large amounts of data in various worksheets. Definitely the best in its class!!
