Re: Exporting HTML to Excel

Header("Content-type: application/ms-excel"); or whatever the content type should be (on IE you can probably get away with application/octet-stream as it bases its decisions of file extensions for a lot of things). HTH Chris Philip Thompson wrote:

How exactly would I change the mime headers? ~Philip On Oct 12, 2004, at 5:07 PM, Vail, Warren wrote:

Have you tried changing your file name to project.htm but continue issuing the mime headers for excel?

This may not be completely a PHP question, but hopefully you will be able to provide some insight. I have a table in HTML that I want to export to an excel spreadsheet. Using PHP, I can create an excel document - however, it's empty/blank. I think I am just doing it incorrectly. Anybody done this before and/or have any ideas? I would prefer to NOT use a third-party program. I've searched the web and php.net, but have been somewhat unsuccessful in finding anything. Here's what I have so far: ------------- <?php header('Content-Type: application/ms-excel'); header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="project.xls"'); ?> <table>

    <tr>
        <td>Something</td>
        </td>Something else</td>
    </tr>

</table> ------------- I just want it to have that content in the spreadsheet. It's actually more involved than that, but that's the gist of it.
