Question

I want to write an array into an Excel sheet: Can someone help me? How can I write this array in excel sheet?

My array:

Array

[1] => Array
    (
        [1] => age
        [2] => name
        [3] => gender
    )

[2] => Array
    (
        [1] => 12
        [2] => alexander
        [3] => male

    )

[3] => Array
    (
        [1] => 18
        [2] => shine
        [3] => female
    )

)

I've tested this code on my dev server and it should work perfectly:

Get the PHPExcel library and put it on your server.

Use this code:

// Include the PHPExcel libraries
require_once "PHPExcel/PHPExcel.php"; // Or whatver the path to your PHPExcel library is
require_once "PHPExcel/PHPExcel/IOFactory.php";

// Set up your input data array
$data = array(
    array("age", "name", "gender"),
    array("12", "alexander", "male"),
    array("18", "shine", "female"),
);

// Create the PHPExcel object
$xl = new PHPExcel();

// Write the data into the new spreadsheet starting at cell A1
$xl->getActiveSheet()->fromArray($data, NULL, 'A1');

// Create a spreadsheet writer, in this case for Excel 2007 (xlsx)
$objWriter = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createWriter($xl, 'Excel2007');

// Set the appropriate headers for the download:
header("Content-type: application/octet-stream");

// Name the file
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=Export.xlsx");
$objWriter->save('php://output');
// We're finished!
die;

Alternately, if you want to do something different with the file you've just generated, you can replace everything after $objWriter with something like this:

ob_start();
$objWriter->save('php://output');
$fileContents = ob_get_clean();

I understanding that you want to generate .XLS file. right? The Following code will do.

require_once "PHPExcel/PHPExcel.php"; //the path to your PHPExcel library 
require_once "PHPExcel/PHPExcel/IOFactory.php";

    // Set up your input data array
    $data = array(
        array("age", "name", "gender"),
        array("12", "alexander", "male"),
        array("18", "shine", "female"),
    );
$name ="sheet name";
$objPHPExcel = new PHPExcel();
$objWriter  = array();
$objWorkSheet = $objPHPExcel->createSheet();            
$objPHPExcel->setActiveSheetIndex(0);
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->setTitle($name);
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->fromArray($data);
$objWriter = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createWriter($objPHPExcel, 'Excel5');

header('Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel');
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\""filename.xls");
header('Cache-Control: max-age=0');
ob_get_clean();
$objWriter->save('php://output');
ob_end_flush();
exit;
