require_once '../Classes/PHPExcel.php';
$objPHPExcel = new PHPExcel();

// Redirect output to a client’s web browser (Excel5)
header('Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment;filename="01simple.xls"');
header('Cache-Control: max-age=0');
// If you're serving to IE 9, then the following may be needed

// If you're serving to IE over SSL, then the following may be needed
header ('Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT'); // Date in the past

$objWriter = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createWriter($objPHPExcel, 'Excel5');
$objWriter->save('php://output');

something like this:
$objPHPExcel = new PHPExcel();
$objPHPExcel->setActiveSheetIndex(0);
$rowCount = 1;
$customTitle = array ('test a','test b','test c');
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->SetCellValue('A'.$rowCount, $customTitle[0]);
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->SetCellValue('B'.$rowCount, $customTitle[1]);
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->SetCellValue('C'.$rowCount, $customTitle[2]);
$rowCount++;
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->SetCellValue('A'.$rowCount, $row['EventID']);
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->SetCellValue('B'.$rowCount, $row['StartDate']);
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->SetCellValue('C'.$rowCount, $row['Status']);
$rowCount++;
}
