Re: PHP generated Excel Spreadsheets

I've used the COM method some years ago... and it's a mess! You need to define, create and destroy all objects explicitly... you can't use any "method" for creating the objects, because if you use them, you won't have a reference to the intermediate objects, which will lead to be unable to close excel properlly. BTW, there are examples out there of COM use... and most don't do things explicitly... and thrus fall in the problem reported... If it was today... i would run away from using it like plage! ;)
