在php中创建Excel文件的问题

Question

I'm using a library called "ExcelWriterXML" in PHP to create excel files.

They are created in format .xls and I myself doesn't have any problem opening them.

Unfortunately, my customers do. When they try to open the file they get an error saying that the file is corrupt.

I have tried to change the code so it creates a file with .xlsx format instead, but then the file doesn't work for me. (I'm supposed to have the latest excel reader so shouldn't be a problem with my software) I can't seem to understand what the problem is, so now I turn to you!

Any ideas what may be causing the problem?

Thank you for all the help!

Answer 1

The problem is that it uses column index starting from zero. Change the line in excelWriterXML_Sheet.php line 335:

$column

to

 $column + 1

It should solve the problem.
