Excel Export using PHP

i am already trying this. Any other script?

There is simpleXml. I am using the xmlWriter Class:

        $xml = new xmlWriter();
       
        $xml->openMemory();
        $xml->setIndent(true);
       
        $xml->startDocument('1.0', 'utf-8');
        $xml->writeRaw("<?mso-application progid=\"Excel.Sheet\"?".">\n");
       
        $xml->startElement('Workbook');
        $xml->writeAttribute('xmlns', 'urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet');
        $xml->writeAttribute('xmlns:o', 'urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office');
        $xml->writeAttribute('xmlns:x', 'urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel');
        $xml->writeAttribute('xmlns:ss', 'urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet');
   
        /*********************************************/
        /* set document properties                   */
        /*********************************************/
        $xml->startElement('DocumentProperties');
        $xml->writeAttribute('xmlns', 'urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office');
            $xml->writeElement('Author',        'My Name');
            $xml->writeElement('LastAuthor',    'My Name');
            $xml->writeElement('Created',       date('Y-m-d\Th:i:s\Z'));
            $xml->writeElement('Company',       'My Name');
        $xml->endElement();// end DocumentProperties
       
        /*********************************************/
        /* set workbook properties                   */
        /*********************************************/
        $xml->startElement('ExcelWorkbook');
        $xml->writeAttribute('xmlns', 'urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel');
            $xml->writeElement('WindowHeight',      13225);
            $xml->writeElement('WindowWidth',       19382);
            $xml->writeElement('WindowTopX',        10);
            $xml->writeElement('WindowTopY',        10);
            $xml->writeElement('ProtectStructure',  'False');
            $xml->writeElement('ProtectWindows',    'False');
        $xml->endElement();// end ExcelWorkbook
       
       
        /*********************************************/
        /* create worksheet                             */
        /*********************************************/
       
        // start Worksheet
        $xml->startElement('Worksheet');
        $xml->writeAttribute('ss:Name', 'KFZ');
           
        // start Table
        $xml->startElement('Table');
        $xml->writeAttribute('ss:ExpandedColumnCount',  (8));
        $xml->writeAttribute('ss:ExpandedRowCount',     ($rowNum));
        $xml->writeAttribute('x:FullColumns',           1);
        $xml->writeAttribute('x:FullRows',              1);
        $xml->writeAttribute('ss:DefaultColumnWidth',   106.206896551724142);
        $xml->writeAttribute('ss:DefaultRowHeight',     13.241379310344827);
                   
        // start Title Row
        $xml->startElement('Row');
       
        foreach ($fieldNames as $value) {
            $xml->startElement('Cell');
            //$xml->writeAttribute('ss:StyleID',  'Headline');
                $xml->startElement('Data');
                $xml->writeAttribute('ss:Type', 'String');
                $xml->text($value);
                $xml->endElement();// end Data
            $xml->endElement();// end Cell
        }
        $xml->endElement();// end Row
        $xml->endElement();// end Table
       
        $xml->endElement();// end Worksheet
        $xml->endElement();// end Workbook
       
        $xml->endDocument();
       
        header('Content-type: application/vnd.ms-excel');
        header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="Teilnehmerliste_'.urlencode($thisEvent[0]['TITLE']).'.xls"');
        header('Expires: 0');
        header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0,pre-check=0');
        header('Pragma: public');
        echo $xml->outputMemory();

Everything is possible with this method. If I don't know how which xml tags to use I save an excel file as xml, look at the code an implement it in my php script. There is no debbuging tool that tells you the line of a syntax error (like JavaScript without Firebug)

This simple class is my weapon of choice for this purpose, check out the examples:

Your solution worked for me.
