Whenever I make an xls document, Excel says "File format is not valid". Why doesnt the output xls document work? I am using the simple code given in the tutorial: <?php require_once 'Spreadsheet/Excel/Writer.php'; $workbook=new Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer('test.xls'); $worksheet =& $workbook->addWorksheet('sheetone'); $workbook -> close(); ?>

Just looking at the above code, maybe you're getting a PHP error (see below), but the Content-Type is being sent so Excel is trying to read the file. Try changing

    $workbook -> close();

to

    $workbook->close();

and see if that makes a difference. -- Marshall Roch
