基本PHPExcel输出Excel文件

Question

I am using PHPExcel and executed their sample code as displayed on the website: https://phpexcel.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Examples&referringTitle=Home

However, I can see the codes running well because I see this "message"

10:50:52 Create new PHPExcel object 10:50:52 Set properties 10:50:52 Add some data 10:50:52 Rename sheet 10:50:52 Write to Excel2007 format 10:50:52 Done writing file.

But I wasn't given an option to download any file? How do I trigger them to ask me to download the file?

Answer 1

If you look at some of the examples in the /Examples folder of the distribution or in the github repo, you'll find a number of examples with names like 01simple-download-xls.php or 01simple-download-xlsx.php that demonstrate how to send a generated Excel file to the browser.

It's also a good idea to read the documentation, which also explains how to do this, e.g. section 4.6.40 of the developer documentation, entitled Redirect output to a client’s web browser.
