Unfortunately not, you have to signup with phpclasses.org, but it’s free.

Not sure if I understand what you try to do.
Do you want to edit an excel file that you created earlier and add more an additional row?
Unfortunately that is not possible with this method, because the class can not open and read existing files.

We will try to get a new improved excel tutorial online soon though that might help you!

Hi,
That was a nice tutorial. But I have one question.

How do I add more data to the same excel file. For example say I am executing the file, I get 3 rows of data. Suppose I want to add the fourth one what should I do?

Thanks
Suji

Hey , nice technique , but I would like to add that dont use this technique if you want your users to generate excels/any file on the fly and download.

Because if you have lots of users on this page then just imagine how much load server will take. because its contain all file handling code.

Instead of this you can use some simple headers to create excel files on the fly and set it for force download.

heres a sample of headers to create any file

// We’ll be outputting a PDF
header(‘Content-type: application/pdf’);
tells browser that coming data is not plain html but pdf

// It will be called downloaded.pdf
header(‘Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=”filename.pdf”‘);
header(“Content-Type: application/force-download”);

above lines will tell browser for force download with specified file name. so user will get dialog box of save or open.

C no file handling..

Sorry for the first question, I didn’t notice you were using a class… Let’s forget about that first question.
