下载文件到服务器phpexcel + codeigniter

Question

I cant save file generated by PHPExcel to server. When do it

$this->load->library('Classes/PHPExcel');
$this->phpexcel->getActiveSheet()->setCellValue('A5','Value');
more excel code...

$writer = new PHPExcel_Writer_Excel5($this->phpexcel);
header('Content-Type: application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="newFile.xls"');
header('Cache-Control: max-age=0');
$writer->setPreCalculateFormulas(false);
$writer->save('php://output');

I can download the file, but I tried many different ways to save the file in the server folder, for example

$filename = 'file.xls';
$writer = new PHPExcel_Writer_Excel5($this->phpexcel);
header('Content-Type: application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="newFile.xls"');
header('Cache-Control: max-age=0');
$writer->setPreCalculateFormulas(false);
$writer->save($filename);

or use PHPExcel_IOFactory to save the file, but I cant get it to work, same idea pliss.

regards.

Answer 1

try this :

header('Content-Type: application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment;filename="'.$fname.'"');
header('Cache-Control: max-age=0');

$objWriter = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createWriter($objPHPExcel, 'Excel2007');
$objWriter->save('./files/'.$fname);

Answer 2

Last night I solved the error.

$writer = new PHPExcel_Writer_Excel5($this->phpexcel);
header('Content-Type: application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="newFile.xls"');
header('Cache-Control: max-age=0');
$writer->setPreCalculateFormulas(false);

$writer->save(getcwd().'/mailAttachment/newFile.xls');

I add this line.

$writer->save(getcwd().'/mailAttachment/newFile.xls');

the function getcwd() get the current working directory.

Thanks anyway.
