I solve this way.. Excel 2000 has able to save excel document as web page. I generate a excell page and format it. Then I save it html. It was MS xml format. After then that. I use my excel xml file as template for my datas. When user click the link php connects to mysql then create ms xml formatted values then combine with excell xml file. If correct dll's are loaded, an excell sheet will show in IE. It behaves like excel. Also you can easly save it excel file.
