Re: Spreadsheet_Write / Excel (was PEAR::OLE)

Hi, well that does sound interesting, does it deal with the OLE stuff internally or ? Would be cool to take the package and split it up like we do currently, keep read/write/ole in their own packages, perhaps even the data sources (am I going a bit too much overboard now ? :P) Lets not rush it into CVS just yet, can you link it online first ? The reason: I want to get the above issues resolved at first so we don't have to go into the whole "yay lets move files on CVS around" deal :) - Helgi On 4/21/07, Daniel Convissor <danielc@analysisandsolutions.com> wrote:

Who knows perhaps we can trick him and David Sanders (excel reader guy) into pitching a bit into the excel writer fixing we so desperately need :D

FYI: A few months ago I made a bunch of progress porting the latest version of CPAN's WriteExcel* from Perl to PHP 5 with exceptions, etc. I've composed the structure in a way to provide a base Spreadsheet_Write class, so the same API can be used to output various spreadsheet formats. I've completed a class that outputs stuff in FromXML format, which is another CPAN package that takes XML and turns it into Excel format. This was quicker for us at work than finishing the full Excel8 writer stuff. I'm quite proud of it, but work hasn't provided me the time to finish it. Seems like it would be a good idea to put the current stuff into cvs.php.net so others can pick it up.
