Hi

in this old message from June 2004 https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=20040608142911.GA1... you mention that you added MS Excel export with PEAR Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer.
Yes, it was completely different code compared to current one and it did require setup from user (it required temporary dir to construct files).
Then Garvin Hicking replied "it's a good benefit".
We could ask the phpmyadmin-users list about use cases.
For whatever feature, you will always find at least one user :-).
True but for a feature that has been in the code since 2004, the base of persons using it has had the time to grow. Especially when we're talking about a product as popular as MS Excel.
Well, a few days after asking on the phpmyadmin-users list about this, we got four answers and they are happy with using CSV for their export and import needs.
I find it strange there are no objections against removing support for import/export excel files from our user base, but if nobody really needs it, then we can remove it I guess.
Removing PHPExcel for the upcoming 3.5 is something we could easily do, and we could also remove it for the 3.4.5 release (or 3.4.4-rc2) so that the Fedora team can see the licensing issue resolved for our current stable release.
I'll remove PHPExcel and the import/export for Excel from QA_3_4, or shall I create a branch first, to test it?
Still have to verify the tcpdf issue, however.
