Greetings all,
I am having some problems with the Excel Spreadsheet Writer and I am hoping that I can get some help from
this group. I am getting garbled text in my spreadsheet when I go to run the php file. I created a general file to
see if I could narrow the problem down. No luck so far…
This is what I am getting in the spreadsheet…

This output makes me thing that the reference to the Writer.php file is not correct. I have verified that the file is located in the given path and that
All other references are correct. Here is my code for the generic test file….
<?php
require_once '../xls/Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer-0.8/Writer.php';
// Creating a workbook
$workbook = new Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer();
// sending HTTP headers
$workbook->send('test.xls');
// Creating a worksheet
$worksheet =& $workbook->addWorksheet('My first worksheet');
// The actual data
$worksheet->write(0, 0, 'Name');
$worksheet->write(0, 1, 'Age');
$worksheet->write(1, 0, 'John Smith');
$worksheet->write(1, 1, 30);
$worksheet->write(2, 0, 'Johann Schmidt');
$worksheet->write(2, 1, 31);
$worksheet->write(3, 0, 'Juan Herrera');
$worksheet->write(3, 1, 32);
// Let's send the file
$workbook->close();
?>
Any suggestions on getting this resolved?
If this is the wrong list, please let me know where I can send this question.
Perhaps it is the way I installed the Writer? All I did was copy it over from another machine.
