[](#php_xlsxwriter)

This is a fork of `mk-j/php_xlsxwriter` compatible with PHP 7.2/3/4 and 8.0/1/2

Required PHP-ZIP extension, install like:

```

```

Installation
============

[](#installation)

`composer require ajur-media/xlsx-writer`

This library is designed to be lightweight, and have minimal memory usage.

It is designed to output an Excel compatible spreadsheet in (Office 2007+) xlsx format, with just basic features supported:

- supports PHP 7.4+ and 8.0+
- takes UTF-8 encoded input
- multiple worksheets
- supports currency/date/numeric cell formatting, simple formulas
- supports basic cell styling
- supports writing huge 100K+ row spreadsheets

Simple PHP CLI example:

```
$data = [
    ['year','month','amount'],
    ['2003','1','220'],
    ['2003','2','153.5'],
];

$writer = new XLSXWriter();
$writer->writeSheet($data);
$writer->writeToFile('output.xlsx');
```

Simple/Advanced Cell Formats:

```
$header = [
  'created'=>'date',
  'product_id'=>'integer',
  'quantity'=>'#,##0',
  'amount'=>'price',
  'description'=>'string',
  'tax'=>'[$$-1009]#,##0.00;[RED]-[$$-1009]#,##0.00',
];
$data = [
    ['2015-01-01',873,1,'44.00','misc','=D2*0.05'],
    ['2015-01-12',324,2,'88.00','none','=D3*0.05'],
];

$writer = new XLSXWriter();
$writer->writeSheetHeader('Sheet1', $header );
foreach($data as $row)
	$writer->writeSheetRow('Sheet1', $row );
$writer->writeToFile('example.xlsx');
```

50000 rows: (1.4s, 0MB memory usage)

```
$writer = new XLSXWriter();
$writer->writeSheetHeader('Sheet1', ['c1'=>'integer','c2'=>'integer','c3'=>'integer','c4'=>'integer'] );
for($i=0; $iwriteSheetRow('Sheet1', [$i, $i+1, $i+2, $i+3] );
}
$writer->writeToFile('huge.xlsx');
echo '#'.floor((memory_get_peak_usage())/1024/1024)."MB"."\n";
```
