I am trying to render html into excel using php excel. Here is my code.
$value = "<ul><li>new</li></ul>";
$objTpl = new PHPExcel();
$objTpl->createSheet(0)
->setTitle("Title")
->setCellValue ( 'A1', 'Value' );
$objTpl->getSheet(0)->setCellValueExplicit("A2", $value);
header('Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel; ');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment;filename="Test"');
header('Cache-Control: max-age=0');
$objWriter = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createWriter($objTpl, 'Excel5');
$objWriter->save('php://output');
PHP excel is creating the excel but the cell value is coming up as
<ul><li>new</li></ul>
But i want it to be shown as new.
Is there is way to do that in php. Please help!

I am using HTML code in a variable and I do not know how can I pass to generate Excel using PHPExcel.
I am able to generate Excel with load HTML file but if I want use HTML in a variable then I am confused. Please give me an idea on how to implement this.
My sample code is below.
<?php
require_once 'PHPExcel.php';
require_once 'PHPExcel/IOFactory.php';
$objPHPExcel = new PHPExcel();
header('Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment;filename="name_of_file.xls"');
header('Cache-Control: max-age=0');
$html ='<table><tr><td><font color="blue">Hello</font></td><td><font style="color: blue;">Rest</font></td></tr><tr><td><font style="color: green;">Next</font></td><td><font style="color: Yellow;">Back</font></td></tr></table>';
$wizard = new PHPExcel_Helper_HTML;
$richText = $wizard->buildTextRun($html);
$objPHPExcel->setActiveSheetIndex(0);
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->setCellValue('A1', $richText);
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->setTitle('Sheet 1');
$objWriter = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createWriter($objPHPExcel, 'Excel2007');
$objWriter->save('php://output', 'w');
?>
When I am using it in variable then its showing all in column vise but I want that all should come new row vise.
I use latest PHPExcel library for creating .xls, .xlsx files. When i try to output created file like this:
ob_end_clean();
$file = 'test.xls';
header('Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel; charset=UTF-8');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.$file.'"');
header('Cache-Control: max-age=0');
header('Cache-Control: max-age=1');
$objPHPWriter = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createWriter($objPHPExcel, 'Excel5');
$objPHPWriter->setIncludeCharts(TRUE);
$objPHPWriter->save('php://output');
exit;
everything is fine until I try to create and output any charts. So i changed my code according to example:
ob_end_clean();
$objPHPWriter = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createWriter($objPHPExcel, 'Excel2007');
$objPHPWriter->setIncludeCharts(TRUE);
$objPHPWriter->save(str_replace('.php', '.xlsx', __FILE__));
exit;
This is working, but the file is not downloaded. So i modified code to output created file:
ob_end_clean();
$file = 'test.xlsx';
header('Content-Type: Content-Type: application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet; charset=UTF-8');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.$file.'"');
header('Cache-Control: max-age=0');
header('Cache-Control: max-age=1');
$objPHPWriter = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createWriter($objPHPExcel, 'Excel2007');
$objPHPWriter->setIncludeCharts(TRUE);
$objPHPWriter->save('php://output');
exit;
And this is not working, ends up with ERR_INVALID_RESPONSE.
Also when i store excel file with charts with second code block, it's not compatibile with MS Excel 2016. It says the file is corrupted and the data were replaced or deleted. What am I missing? Thanks a lot.
I figured out one simple solution, first step is to store created .xlsx file, second is to download file with header("Location:"). Redundant files are deleted with array_map function.
array_map('unlink', glob( __DIR__."/*.xlsx"));
$file = 'test.xlsx';
$objPHPWriter = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createWriter($objPHPExcel, 'Excel2007');
$objPHPWriter->setIncludeCharts(TRUE);
$objPHPWriter->save($file);
header("Location: $file");
I have this controller which renders my data from database to the PHPExcel library.
https://arjunphp.com/how-to-use-phpexcel-with-codeigniter/
this is my controller :
public function downloadTournamentData() {
$this->load->model("Tournament");
$var_data = array();
$var_data['tournament'] = $this->Tournament->getTournamentData();
$this->load->library('excel');
$this->excel->setActiveSheetIndex(0);
$this->excel->getActiveSheet()->setTitle('test');
$this->excel->getActiveSheet()->setCellValue('A1', 'member_username');
$this->excel->getActiveSheet()->setCellValue('B1', 'member_name');
$this->excel->getActiveSheet()->setCellValue('C1', 'member_phone');
$this->excel->getActiveSheet()->setCellValue('D1', 'member_email');
$this->excel->getActiveSheet()->setCellValue('E1', 'member_idcard');
$this->excel->getActiveSheet()->setCellValue('F1', 'Date_created');
$this->excel->getActiveSheet()->setCellValue('G1', 'team_name');
$this->excel->getActiveSheet()->setCellValue('H1', 'warnet_name');
$this->excel->getActiveSheet()->setCellValue('I1', 'warnet_cp');
$this->excel->getActiveSheet()->setCellValue('J1', 'warnet_phone');
$this->excel->getActiveSheet()->setCellValue('K1', 'region_name');
$this->excel->getActiveSheet()->setCellValue('L1', 'City');
$cell_inc = 2;
foreach($var_data['tournament'] as $k => $v) {
$this->excel->getActiveSheet()->setCellValue('A'.$cell_inc, $v['member_username']);
$this->excel->getActiveSheet()->setCellValue('B'.$cell_inc, $v['member_name']);
$this->excel->getActiveSheet()->setCellValue('C'.$cell_inc, $v['member_phone']);
$this->excel->getActiveSheet()->setCellValue('D'.$cell_inc, $v['member_email']);
$this->excel->getActiveSheet()->setCellValue('E'.$cell_inc, $v['member_idcard']);
$this->excel->getActiveSheet()->setCellValue('F'.$cell_inc, $v['Date_created']);
$this->excel->getActiveSheet()->setCellValue('G'.$cell_inc, $v['team_name']);
$this->excel->getActiveSheet()->setCellValue('H'.$cell_inc, $v['warnet_name']);
$this->excel->getActiveSheet()->setCellValue('I'.$cell_inc, $v['warnet_cp']);
$this->excel->getActiveSheet()->setCellValue('J'.$cell_inc, $v['warnet_phone']);
$this->excel->getActiveSheet()->setCellValue('K'.$cell_inc, $v['region_name']);
$this->excel->getActiveSheet()->setCellValue('L'.$cell_inc, $v['City']);
$cell_inc++;
}
date_default_timezone_set("Asia/Jakarta");
$this_date = date("Y-m-d");
$filename='pb_turnamen_data-'.$this_date.'.xls'; //save our workbook as this file name
header('Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel; charset=UTF-8'); //mime type
header('Content-Disposition: attachment;filename="'.$filename.'"'); //tell browser what's the file name
header('Cache-Control: max-age=0'); //no cache
//save it to Excel5 format (excel 2003 .XLS file), change this to 'Excel2007' (and adjust the filename extension, also the header mime type)
//if you want to save it as .XLSX Excel 2007 format
$objWriter = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createWriter($this->excel, 'Excel5');
//force user to download the Excel file without writing it to server's HD
$objWriter->save('php://output');
}
It does download the excel file. Only problem is that the data is mixed up and it's all wrong.
Why is this happening? Is there something wrong with my controller?
Please provide solution...
Add
ob_end_clean();
after
$objWriter = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createWriter($this->excel, 'Excel5');
final code is
$objWriter = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createWriter($this->excel, 'Excel5');
ob_end_clean();
$objWriter->save('php://output');
I am trying to download excel file using PHPExcel, it's like it download the excel file nicely but the data in excel file is all crap.. it's not what i expected. I passed very basic methods to test my excel sheet data output.
here is the code i'am trying
else if($request->p['type'] == 'excel')
{
$report_type_name = "Graph Survey Report";
$ExcelReport = new ExcelApExport($sections, $group_definition, $questions, $sample_corrections);
$objPHPExcel = $ExcelReport->export($sets, $disp_filter);
header('Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel');
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; "
. escape_for_content_disposition("{$report_name} - {$report_type_name} - " . date("Y-m-d.H.i") . ".xls"));
header('Cache-Control: max-age=0');
$objWriter = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createWriter($objPHPExcel, 'Excel2007');
$objWriter->save('php://output');
exit;
}
also I make object here and call phpexcel methods here
public function export($Sets, $disp_filter)
{
$objPHPExcel = new PHPExcel();
$objPHPExcel->getProperties()->setTitle("Offic excel Test Document");
$objPHPExcel->getProperties()->setSubject(" Test Document");
$objPHPExcel->getProperties()->setDescription("Test document for XLS, generated using PHP classes.");
//echo date('H:i:s') . " Add some data\n";
$objPHPExcel->setActiveSheetIndex(0);
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->SetCellValue('A1', 'Hello');
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->SetCellValue('B2', 'world!');
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->SetCellValue('C1', 'Hello');
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->SetCellValue('D2', 'world!');
return $objPHPExcel;
}
please can you suggest me why this crap data is showing up in my file instead of expected data.
thanks in advance
It needs basically
ob_clean();
before saving object.
$objWriter = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createWriter($objPHPExcel, 'Excel2007');
This is the writer for .xlsx files. (See: https://github.com/PHPOffice/PHPExcel/blob/develop/Examples/01simple-download-xlsx.php)
So the right header would be:
// Redirect output to a client’s web browser (Excel2007)
header('Content-Type: application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet');
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; "
. escape_for_content_disposition("{$report_name} - {$report_type_name} - " . date("Y-m-d.H.i") . ".xlsx")); //.xlsX!
The writer for old .xls-files is:
$objWriter = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createWriter($objPHPExcel, 'Excel5');
See: https://github.com/PHPOffice/PHPExcel/blob/develop/Examples/01simple-download-xls.php
I ran into this problem recently and found another post here that is very helpful if ur still having the problem after using ob_clean()
check this post
I've followed some tutorials and saw some people with same issue but I can't figure out how to put this working on my project.
Btw, I'm using CodeIgniter framework and I have Excel 2007 in my computer.
public function exportExcel(){
require(APPPATH . 'libraries/toExcel/PHPExcel.php');
$objPHPExcel = new PHPExcel();
$objPHPExcel->setActiveSheetIndex(0)
->setCellValue('A1', 'Hello');
// Rename worksheet
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->setTitle('Simple');
$objWriter = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createWriter($objPHPExcel, 'Excel5');
header('Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel; charset=utf-8');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=01simple.xls');
header('Cache-Control: max-age=0');
$objWriter->save('php://output');
exit;
}
This is my code just for testings. Whenever I download the file generated by that function and try to open it is this what I get:
And when I click "Yes" I receive this:
Solved.
ob_end_clean();
ob_start();
$objWriter->save('php://output');
All php_excel changed Unknown Creator worksheet.
directory application/third_party/phpexcel/PHPExcel/DocumentProperties.php
changed line 43;
private $creator = 'Unknown Creator'; changed ↓
private $creator = 'your name';
