#2 Excel file is unreadable

[Anonymous]

Using enclosed example file test.phtml, created a new
excel file. File is created and downloads correctly.
When I open it in Excel 2001, it complains that the file
format is unrecognized, then tries to open it anyway.
The data is jumbled around, and not in the order you
might expect. There are also some garbage characters in
the data.

In my case Excel (XP) does not even open the file - but it
makes three tries to read it (what is going on my mind as
it pops up three error messages *g*). Anyway, good work
and hope this will continue.

I had this problems too. I tried this php-scripts on unix-
and nt-servers. most of them created a readable xls-file
without problems (PHP Version 4.0.4pl1 and PHP Version
4.0.1pl2 used) but the one with php-version 4.0.6 created
not an readable and correct xls-file for excel 2000. shown
only with garbage characters. could this be the problem?

I too have an unreadable file.

I am using the psxlsgen-0.3b.tgz file on a Red Hat 6.1 system with php 4.06. It created the file from a psql database into /tmp/test3.xls. I down loaded the file onto my WinME system and tried to open it with Excel 97 SR-1. Excel claimed the file was unreadable.

What versions of excel and on what operating systems does this work with?

I had this problem too but I resolved it.
In fact the way computer codes the integer depends on the machine.
To avoid this replace all the "sssss" in the pack functions by "vvvvv".

Seems this project is dead for some time. Saved XLS files
are unreadable for everyone I guess.
