OUTSTANDING!!! Thanks for taking the time. However, I am bit confused. Are you telling me that the blank lines are what is causing my problems?

I found all of the pieces on the net and copied to my webserver... I got the same results you did until I got my header warnings fixed: Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at C:\WebServ\www\trunk\include\parser.php:1762) in C:\WebServ\www\trunk\include\excelWriter.php on line 67 Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at C:\WebServ\www\trunk\include\parser.php:1762) in C:\WebServ\www\trunk\include\excelWriter.php on line 68 Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at C:\WebServ\www\trunk\include\parser.php:1762) in C:\WebServ\www\trunk\include\excelWriter.php on line 69 Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at C:\WebServ\www\trunk\include\parser.php:1762) in C:\WebServ\www\trunk\include\excelWriter.php on line 70 Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at C:\WebServ\www\trunk\include\parser.php:1762) in C:\WebServ\www\trunk\include\excelWriter.php on line 71 I had serveral others besides the ones listed above... These are caused by PHP Scripts that post anything before or after the Excel (or any other ) Headers are sent... AND THIS INCLUDES BLANK LINES. My problems were caused by: 1. 2. <?php ... 9. ?> Line one above can't be present. and: 1. <?PHP 9. ?> 10. 11. Lines 10 and 11 above can't be present... Once I fixed all of my "Cannot Modify Headers" errors, the Cut and Paste of your exact code, created an Excel Spread Sheet. When I ran your code, I got a Open File Dialog box, that says: "You have chosen to open "test.xls" which is a Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet... What should Firefox do ? Save or Open.- I chose open, and there it is ! I got no output on my Web Browser page at all ( View source just showe <html><head></head><body></body></html> ) Hope this Helps. Scot L.

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… ÐÏࡱá; ________________________________ þÿ ________________________________ þÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ[1] ________________________________ ________________________________ þÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ l ÉB[1]ä ________________________________ [1] ________________________________ My first worksheet=¼%r8X[1]"[1]1ÈÿArial1ÈÿArial1ÈÿArial1ÈÿArial1ÈÿArial1È Arialàõÿ À àõÿ À àõÿ À àõÿ À àõÿ À àõÿ À àõÿ À àõÿ À àõÿ À àõÿ À àõÿ À àõÿ À àõÿ À àõÿ À àõÿ À à À à À “[1] ________________________________ €ÿ’â8ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ€€€€€€€€€ÀÀÀ€€€™™ÿ™3fÿÿÌÌÿÿffÿ€€fÌÌÌÿ€ÿÿÿÿÿÿ€€€€€ÿÌÿÌÿÿÌÿÌÿÿ™™Ìÿÿ™ÌÌ™ÿÿÌ™3fÿ3ÌÌ™ÌÿÌÿ™ÿfff™–––3f3™f333™3™3f33™333…? ________________________________ My first worksheet l É[1][1][1]*[1]+[1]€‚[1][1]Á ________________________________ ¡"d[1]X[1]X[1]à?à?[1] ________________________________ [1] ________________________________ [1] ________________________________ Name ________________________________ [1] ________________________________ Age ________________________________ [1] John Smith ________________________________ [1] >@ ________________________________ [1][1] Johann Schmidt ________________________________ [1] [1]?@ ________________________________ [1] ________________________________ Juan Herrera ________________________________ [1] ________________________________ @@)ð?(ð?'è?&è?„[1]ƒ[1]>[1] ¶ ________________________________ Root Entryÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ [1]ÀFC‑x'æÆC‑x'æÆÀ ________________________________ Book [1]ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ This output makes me thing that the reference to the Writer.php file is not correct.

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.
