AW: [PHP-WIN] PHP, COM and Excel

Hi Neill, don't wonder 'bout the lack of sites. You are entering commercial area with using Excel. If you are heading for heavy use you might want to take look at BiffWriter http://www.web-aware.com/biff/ It does write Excel files directly without the overhead of COM (and Excel itself, for that matter). BiffWriter is a PHP class free for strictly personal use. Any other use is subject to a license agreement. There are some heavy limits using COM with Excel data, mainly the lack of support for multidimensional variant arrays by PHP COM. These are heavily used by the Excel object to expose various things, namely cell ranges. If COM is essential for any reason I can send you an example script reading and writing excel spreadsheet data.
