Note Submitter: andrej at dairyweb dot com dot au ---- while looking for a solution to easily convert HTML->excel spreadsheets, while re-using as much of the existing template system as possible. i stumbled across a nifty little trick with headers that does the job nicely. (note: i have only tested with IE 5.5+). Just call the headers before the HTML that you want to be rendered into a excel document, and there u go example: --------[snip]-------- <?php header("Content-type: application/vnd.ms-excel"); header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"test.xls\""); ?> <table border="1" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"> <tr> <td>CustomerID</td> <td>CompanyName</td> <td>ContactName</td> </tr> </table> words words words --------[snip]-------- hope it helps someone, as it saved me doing it with an external excel writer library
