creating excel sheets through php

A

anagai

hi

not sure if this is the right place but I cant find much documentation
on this subject. All I want to do is to create multi worksheet excel
files on the server running php. I have found some code that uses xml
to do this, but not sure how to modify the code to format cells in
different colors and other formatting.

this code is in the head section of the php page. The body of the page
contains a table of data. This will create a excel file of name
specified

anybody know how to modify this code, i really cant find any examples
of this code. Theres reference on knowledge base, but as usual its
totally useless.

the code should basically work the same as with any scripting code, you'd
have to port and fix up but the concept should be the same across the board.

Does your book cover creating excel files on the server using xml? I
dont use .net web components. my post was basically saying i cant find
any kind of explanation of this xml code that interfaces with excel.
There is no explanation or examples on ms site or anywhere else that i
can find. Does your book cover the

xmlns:x="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:eek:ffice:excel" ?

im not familiar with xml to much.

all i need is something that can create a formatted multi worksheet
excel file on the server. I have no use for activex or com on the
client. Do you know of a book that covers this area completely?

thanks for responding quickly
