Hello I have the following code
// Create new PHPExcel object
$objPHPExcel = new PHPExcel();
// Set document properties
$objPHPExcel->getProperties()->setCreator("Maarten Balliauw")
->setLastModifiedBy("Maarten Balliauw")
->setTitle("Office 2007 XLSX Test Document")
->setSubject("Office 2007 XLSX Test Document")
->setDescription("Test document for Office 2007 XLSX, generated using PHP classes.")
->setKeywords("office 2007 openxml php")
->setCategory("Test result file");
$exchange = $_POST['exchange'];
$jobchange = $_POST['estimate'];
$wpchange = $_POST['wp'];
$username = "----";
$password = "----";
$hostname = "----";
$dbhandle = mysql_connect($hostname, $username, $password) or die("Unable to connect to MySQL");
$selected = mysql_select_db("----", $dbhandle) or die("Could not select examples");
$query = "SELECT * FROM btsec WHERE WP='$wpchange' AND Exchange='$exchange' AND Estimate='$jobchange'";
$result = mysql_query($query);
$acellnum = "3";
$bcellnum = "3";
$ccellnum = "3";
$dcellnum = "3";
$objPHPExcel->setActiveSheetIndex(0)
->setCellValue('A1', 'Section ID')
->setCellValue('B1', 'Length')
->setCellValue('C1', 'Status')
->setCellValue('D1', 'TM');
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
// Query
// Add some data
$objPHPExcel->setActiveSheetIndex(0)
->setCellValue("A".$acellnum, $row['SectionID'])
->setCellValue("B".$bcellnum, $row['Length'])
->setCellValue("C".$ccellnum, $row['Status'])
->setCellValue("D".$dcellnum, $row['TM']);
$acellnum++;
$bcellnum++;
$ccellnum++;
$dcellnum++;
}
// Rename worksheet
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->setTitle('Simple');
// Set active sheet index to the first sheet, so Excel opens this as the first sheet
$objPHPExcel->setActiveSheetIndex(0);
// Redirect output to a client’s web browser (Excel5)

exit;
It is generating the excel file, but all it outputs is text similar to this
ÐÏࡱá;þÿ
Opening in a text editor reveals no obvious errors and the script returns none either. I'm trying to output this to an Excel 2007 compatible format. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening?
EDIT: May not be relevant but Excel throws an error that the format does not match the extension
