excel download

[blizz]

Can anyone please help me.....
I've used
header("Content-type: application/vnd.ms-excel")
to download PHP into an excel file.
But how do I include images and how do I format numbers into a four digit format. It seems that excel do not recognize PHP's formating functions.

Thanks!

It's not a php limitation, all the browser sees is HTML. I assume you are already putting everything in a single HTML table (which Excel will display as a spreadsheet).

Aside from limited HTML table formatting you don't have much control over Excel. If you want to get fancy you have to build an xls file on the server with COM and let the user download it.
