How to Generate an .Xlsx Using PHP

Generate Excel from PHP

I use the class PHPExcel ( https://github.com/PHPOffice/PHPExcel ) to create Excelsheets of various versions.

works very well for me.

edit

Although you meanwhile changed the question, not wanting to use phpexcel, I will put an example below how the code would look like, if you would use PHPExcel. Only add the class files from the link above to get it to work:

<?php

$oExcel = new PHPExcel();

// first row
$oExcel->getActiveSheet()->setCellValueByColumnAndRow(0, 1, 'id');
$oExcel->getActiveSheet()->setCellValueByColumnAndRow(1, 1, 'name');
$oExcel->getActiveSheet()->setCellValueByColumnAndRow(2, 1, 'email');

// second row 
$oExcel->getActiveSheet()->setCellValueByColumnAndRow(0, 2, 230);
$oExcel->getActiveSheet()->setCellValueByColumnAndRow(1, 2, 'John');
$oExcel->getActiveSheet()->setCellValueByColumnAndRow(2, 2, 'john@yahoo.com');

// third row 
$oExcel->getActiveSheet()->setCellValueByColumnAndRow(0, 3, 350);
$oExcel->getActiveSheet()->setCellValueByColumnAndRow(1, 3, 'Mark');
$oExcel->getActiveSheet()->setCellValueByColumnAndRow(2, 3, 'mark@yahoo.com');

$objWriter = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createWriter($oExcel, 'Excel5');

header('Content-type: application/vnd.ms-excel');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="export_'. date('Y-m-d').'.xls"');
header("Pragma: no-cache");
header("Expires: 0");

$objWriter->save('php://output');

How to generate an Excel document with multiple worksheets from PHP?

Try looking at PHPExcel. This is a simple example that creates an Excel file with two sheets:

<?php
require_once 'PHPExcel.php';
require_once 'PHPExcel/IOFactory.php';

// Create new PHPExcel object
$objPHPExcel = new PHPExcel();

// Create a first sheet, representing sales data
$objPHPExcel->setActiveSheetIndex(0);
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->setCellValue('A1', 'Something');

// Rename sheet
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->setTitle('Name of Sheet 1');

// Create a new worksheet, after the default sheet
$objPHPExcel->createSheet();

// Add some data to the second sheet, resembling some different data types
$objPHPExcel->setActiveSheetIndex(1);
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->setCellValue('A1', 'More data');

// Rename 2nd sheet
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->setTitle('Second sheet');

// Redirect output to a client’s web browser (Excel5)
header('Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment;filename="name_of_file.xls"');
header('Cache-Control: max-age=0');
$objWriter = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createWriter($objPHPExcel, 'Excel5');
$objWriter->save('php://output');
