Is csv equal to excel? So we do not need extra library for the excel to be installed is it? – user837306 Sep 22 '11 at 04:26
csv is good for excel its works fine create one thru excel and you will get it (p.s. csv = comma separated values) – Eli Y Sep 22 '11 at 04:49
if it is just a csv file how will be a .xls file then? How to come out with the columns etc? – user837306 Sep 22 '11 at 22:10

you can also create a simple html table () and excel will load it – Eli Y Sep 23 '11 at 20:58

How will this birt component help in php programming as it is built for java environment right? – user837306 Sep 22 '11 at 22:03
yes you need to install tomcat server to birt run read the installation guide in your php web application you can give URL path to the reports then user can click and on that load the reports reports loading from tomcat server – Roshan Wijesena Sep 23 '11 at 02:52
the installation guide is more for windows how about linux? so it can support what format reports? – user837306 Sep 23 '11 at 16:57
