PHP output in Excel

[Anon]

Hi All,

I am running a php script accessing Oracle database through a middleware. It works fine.

How ever, the user wants the option of printing the output either to the browser or to an excel file.

In perl, i could do it easily with:
print header(-type=>\'application/vnd.ms-excel\');

Is there a way in PHP to send the output to Excel?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Madhu

I use the following code to output different file formats. This heard line has to be the first thing output by the script though.

Header("Content-type: application/vnd.ms-excel");
