Hi Guys,
I am trying to export mySql data to excel with PHP.
I want it to be the real excel file, where data is input
into columns and rows.
so far i found a script online that seems to do the job…
but it generates weird characters in the excel file
<?php
function xlsBOF() {
echo pack(“ssssss”, 0x809, 0x8, 0x0, 0x10, 0x0, 0x0);
return;
}
function xlsEOF() {
echo pack(“ss”, 0x0A, 0x00);
return;
}
function xlsWriteNumber($Row, $Col, $Value) {
echo pack(“sssss”, 0x203, 14, $Row, $Col, 0x0);
echo pack(“d”, $Value);
return;
}
function xlsWriteLabel($Row, $Col, $Value ) {
$L = strlen($Value);
echo pack(“ssssss”, 0x204, 8 + $L, $Row, $Col, 0x0, $L);
echo $Value;
return;
}
header(“Pragma: no-cache”);
header(“Expires: 0”);
header(“Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0”);
header(“Content-Type: application/force-download”);
header(“Content-Type: application/octet-stream”);
header(“Content-Type: application/download”);
header( “Content-type: application/vnd.ms-excel; charset=UTF-16LE” );
header("Content-Disposition: attachment;filename=testing.xls ");
header(‘Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary’);
xlsBOF();
xlsWriteLabel(0,0,“Testing”);
xlsEOF();
exit();
?>
and the outcome of the excel file is

so there’s like funny character in front of the text,
which i copy and paste in other places it appears blank.
really no clue what’s causing it.
Please help guys!
thanks!
