exporting to an excel file

[ndedhia1]

hello,
I am creating a comma delimited text file in php and need to export the results to an excel file.
I am creating the text file thru querying a mySql database.
Right now, we have the .txt file exporting into a .html file but we would like it to also export to an excel file.
Can this be done and can someone please help me.

thank you

Hi.

If your PHP code is being executed on a Windows server, you could use COM to use Excel from within PHP.

I not, your best bet would probably be to create a CSV file or a XML file.
Excel can read both formats, and they are infinitely easier to use in PHP than M$s proprietary XSL format.
