Which is the best way to generate excel output in PHP? [closed]

Question

Is there any other PHP components like PHPExcel?

Answer 1

There is some class that generates PHP Excel files (real excel files, not that .csv thing). I use (DEPRICATED) See edit 2:

BUT: I have had a problem when trying to read these generated excel files with the java excel READER, so there might be bugs in this PHP script.

2. PhpSpreadsheet is the next version of PHPExcel. It breaks compatibility to dramatically improve the code base quality (namespaces, PSR compliance, use of latest PHP language features, etc.). https://github.com/PHPOffice/PhpSpreadsheet
