Answer 1

Using the code below you can export the file to a csv if that works for you?
$sheet = array();
$array1 = array("Body","ID","Group");
array_push($sheet,$array1);
$array2 = array("Mesaage 1" , "10", "11");
array_push($sheet,$array2);
echo '<pre>';
print_r($sheet);
echo '</pre>';
//open file ready to write to
//'c+' opens the file or creates if it doesn't already exist
$fo = fopen('YOURFILEPATHHERE','c+');
//loop through array
foreach ($sheet as $lines) {
//push array values to line in the csv file
fputcsv($fo,$lines);
}
//close file
fclose($fo);
This outputs a csv that meets your requirements.
Make sure you have permission to write into the location you specify at YOURFILEPATHHERE.
Find out more information about fputcsv and fopen visit http://php.net/manual/en/function.fputcsv.php and http://php.net/manual/en/function.fopen.php respectively.

Answer 2

$row needs to start from 1 if you're using setCellValueByColumnAndRow(), because MS Excel worksheet rows start from 1 (note that Excel never has cell A0)
But you might find using the Worksheet's fromArray() method is easier

Answer 3

Try this code and change little bit according to your requirement
$header = array("Body","ID","Group");
$array2 = array("Mesaage 1" , "10", "11");
$list = array ($header);
$filename = "mmyexcel.xls";
$objPHPExcel = new PHPExcel();
$sheet = $objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->setTitle('Excel Export');
$list[] = $array2;
$sheet->fromArray($list);
header('Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel');
//tell browser what's the file name
header('Content-Disposition: attachment;filename="' . $filename . '"');
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
$objWriter = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createWriter($objPHPExcel, 'Excel5');
//force user to download the Excel file without writing it to server's HD
$objWriter->save('php://output');
