Write excel files php

In the last line, the cells from A1 to D1 of the first row is set as the header row. Excel will open this as the first sheet.

The above simple query returns all rows from the table. Because the first row of the excel is already occupied as the header row. So, we will start inserting the data from the second row. The cell range will be A2:D2. Next A3:D3. First step is to create the spreadsheet reader then load the file using this reader.

The getHighestRow helps us to get the last added row, so that you can start adding new records from the next empty row. Second step is to create the writer and pass the above modified spreadsheet as a first parameter.

Then just save the file with this writer. Please leave a comment if you have any query. Your email address will not be published.

Unfortunately, you fail to mention what the file format of your Excel file is like Mark Baker already pointed out , so it's hard to find a proper duplicate. IMO, you are better off using "excel classes". Today i got a downvote Jul Nasty — zod. Add a comment.
