[Phpmyadmin-devel] MS Excel export

[admin@michaelkeck.de]

 Hi all,

 I've used the PEAR class Spreedsheet_Excel_writer
 some days ago.
 For one of my clients, who couldn't install pear on
 Webserver, I've repatched this class to xls_writer
 and a export function on it. It uses table headers
 worksheets, merged cells and merged rows.
 Some styles, like frame border, color, image or
 so, can be used on this function.

 If you want, I will put it on my ftp-server for
 downloading...

 Regards Michael

 |   Hi all
 |
 |   I just added experimental MS Excel export. It uses PEAR class
 |   Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer. Enabling of this feature is
 |   described in docs.
 |   I'd like to get some feedback from you about this.

 |   Hi Michal!
 |
 |   I currently don't have the spreadsheet-class installed, but
 |   will do so tonight.
 |   Your code however looks clean, so I don't think that there'll
 |   be problems.
 |
 |   Love the implementatio, it's a good benefit.
 |
 |   However I was thinking if we really need a new TempDir
 |   setting? Couldn't we
 |   combine that with SaveDir?
 |
 |   And maybe we should use @include_once when probing for the
 |   spreadsheet file no
 |   not generate errors. And if the class was not found, we could
 |   set $xls to a
 |   string and on the export screen display a link/message that
 |   you can use the
 |   PEAR-class if you want native CSV/XLS export.
 |
 |   Regards,
 |   Garvin.

 |
 |   It is used just for temporary files, so it should be separate directory
 |   (and in case php ocassionaly crashes, that directory should be cleaned
 |   up).

 |
 |   Ooops, I removed @ during testing, adding back.

 |                                   ^^^^^^^ just XLS, CVS is
 |   always native :-))
 |
 |   Okay, I will add one more message.
