Remember...to move accross columns you have to
\t (tab)...then \n or \r to drop to the next row.
<?php
header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream\n");
header("Content-Disposition: filename=\"my_excel_sheet.xls\"");
header("Content-transfer-encoding: binary\n");
print("Employee List\r");
print("Employee SSN\t Employee Name\r");
$sql = "select * from employees order by employee_ssn";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$ssn = $row["ssn"];
$name = $row["name"];
print("$ssn\t $name\r");
}
?>
