Alternative for PHP_excel

I'm looking for a lightweight and fast PHP Excel writer. I need to export Excel files up to 50000 rows. I've tried PHPExcel, but it is far too slow and memory-intensive.

It's only data, so formatting is not necessary.

Another requirement is that fields are often bigger than 255 characters. A lot of solutions I found don't support this.

Any suggestions?

  • http://code.google.com/p/php-excel/ writes XML files, and I'd like 'real' Excel files. – Henk de Slager Apr 12 '11 at 13:36

    @Henk de Slager: Since Excel 2007, the XML files are the real Excel files. BIFF format has been legacy for four years now. A modern piece of code should import/export in the [OPC-based Office Open XML format](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_Open_XML_file_formats). – Orbling Apr 12 '11 at 14:03
