PHPExcel - DEPRECATED
=====================

[](#phpexcel---deprecated)

PHPExcel last version, 1.8.1, was released in 2015. The project is no longer maintained and should not be used anymore.

All **users should migrate** to its direct successor [PhpSpreadsheet](https://github.com/PHPOffice/PhpSpreadsheet), or another alternative.

In a few months, the GitHub project will be marked as archived, so everything will be read-only.
