Static Methods
--------------

[](#static-methods)

- read(string $filename\[, mixed $key\]): array - Reads a spreadsheet and converts it's contents to an array (using the PHPExcel toString() method). By default this will return an enumerated array with each element representing one sheet. A specific sheet can be requested by passing the $key argument, either as an integer representing the (zero based) sheet number, or as a string of the sheet name.
- getCellName(int $col, int $row): string - Convert a numeric column number (zero based) and row number into a cell name (eg B3)

Public Methods
--------------

[](#public-methods)

- save(string $filename): null - Calls the save() method on the PHPExcel\_Writer\_Excel2007 class.
- output(string $filename): null - Outputs the spreadsheet to the browser to prompt a download.
- addImage(string $cell, string $path): null - Add an image to the specified cell.
- setCell(string $cell, mixed $value\[, int $style\]): null - Set a cell to a value. The $style parameter can be used to set several styles on the cell, using the following class constants: BOLD ITALIC LEFT RIGHT CENTER

Examples
--------

[](#examples)

The Excel class uses a namespace of duncan3dc

```
use duncan3dc\Excel;
```

---

```
$excel = new Excel();

$excel->setCell("A1","Title", Excel::BOLD | EXCEL::CENTER);

for($i = 1; $i < 10; $i++) {
    $cell = $excel->getCellName($i,1);
    $excel->setCell($cell,"Test " . $i);
}

for($i = 1; $i < 10; $i++) {
    $cell = Excel::getCellName($i,2);
    $excel->setCell($cell,"Value " . $i);
}

$excel->save("/tmp/text.xls");
```
