I have an Array of arrays at the beginning of each sub array is the header of the column followed by integers that I want to populate the column. It looks something like this:
Array ( [0] => Array ( [0] => How was the Food? [1] => 3 [2] => 4 ) [1] => Array ( [0] => How was the first party of the semester? [1] => 2 [2] => 4 [3] => 0 ) )
Is there a way to break up the array and get it to export to Excel?
Excel can open csv file directly ... try
$array = Array (
0 => Array (
0 => "How was the Food?",
1 => 3,
2 => 4
),
1 => Array (
0 => "How was the first party of the semester?",
1 => 2,
2 => 4,
3 => 0
)
);
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"demo.xls\"");
header("Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel;");
header("Pragma: no-cache");
header("Expires: 0");
$out = fopen("php://output", 'w');
foreach ($array as $data)
{
fputcsv($out, $data,"\t");
}
fclose($out);
If you really want to export array to excel, have a look at PHPReport. I have written that class to simplify exporting with phpexcel. It supports xls and xlsx.
