README

This bundle permits you to create an easily modifiable excel object. This is just a dependency injection that links

3 Objects:

The container in this bundle,
The StreamWrapper in the n3bStreamresponse
A Writer.

You could create your own writer extending n3b\Bundle\Util\HttpFoundation\StreamResponse\StreamWriterInterface or you could use the great PHPExcel library. With PHPExcel you can create xls, ods, pdf and more.

You have to know that csv is faster so I encourage you to use the built-in function for csv: http://it.php.net/manual-lookup.php?pattern=csv&lang=en&scope=quickref

Migration

In order to follow the naming convention https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards/blob/master/accepted/PSR-0.md all the liuggio namespaces are migrated to Liuggio.

This master is up-to-date to the symfony/symfony master actually on 2.1

INSTALLATION with COMPOSER

1 Add to composer.json to the require key

    "require" : {
        "liuggio/excelbundle": ">=1.0.4",
    }

2 Register the bundle in app/AppKernel.php

    $bundles = array(
        // ...

        'n3b\\Bundle\\Util\\HttpFoundation\\StreamResponse' => __DIR__.'/../vendor/n3b/src',
        'Liuggio'          => __DIR__.'/../vendor/bundles',
    ));
    $loader->registerPrefixes(array(

        new Liuggio\ExcelBundle\LiuggioExcelBundle(),
    );

AVAILABLE SERVICES

If you want to write

   // create MS Excel5
   $excelService = $this->get('xls.service_xls5');
   // create pdf
   $this->get('xls.service_pdf');
   // create MS Excel 2007
   $this->get('xls.service_xls2007');

If you want to read xls

    $excelObj = $this->get('xls.load_xls5')->load($filename);

USAGE

Create a controller in your bundle

namespace YOURNAME\YOURBUNDLE\Controller;

use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller;


class DefaultController extends Controller
{
    
    public function indexAction($name)
    {
        // ask the service for a Excel5
        $excelService = $this->get('xls.service_xls5');
        // or $this->get('xls.service_pdf');
        // or create your own is easy just modify services.yml


        // create the object see http://phpexcel.codeplex.com documentation
        $excelService->excelObj->getProperties()->setCreator("Maarten Balliauw")
                            ->setLastModifiedBy("Maarten Balliauw")
                            ->setTitle("Office 2005 XLSX Test Document")
                            ->setSubject("Office 2005 XLSX Test Document")
                            ->setDescription("Test document for Office 2005 XLSX, generated using PHP classes.")
                            ->setKeywords("office 2005 openxml php")
                            ->setCategory("Test result file");
        $excelService->excelObj->setActiveSheetIndex(0)
                    ->setCellValue('A1', 'Hello')
                    ->setCellValue('B2', 'world!');
        $excelService->excelObj->getActiveSheet()->setTitle('Simple');
        // Set active sheet index to the first sheet, so Excel opens this as the first sheet
        $excelService->excelObj->setActiveSheetIndex(0);
 
        //create the response
        $response = $excelService->getResponse();
        $response->headers->set('Content-Type', 'text/vnd.ms-excel; charset=utf-8');
        $response->headers->set('Content-Disposition', 'attachment;filename=stdream2.xls');
        
        // If you are using a https connection, you have to set those two headers for compatibility with IE <9
        $response->headers->set('Pragma', 'public');
        $response->headers->set('Cache-Control', 'maxage=1');
        return $response;        
    }
}

With the right writer (e.g. PHPExcel_Writer_Excel5) you could also write the output to a file:

    
	public function indexAction($name)
    {
        $excelService = $this->get('xls.service_xls5');	

        //...create php excel object

        $excelService->getStreamWriter()->write( $filename );
    }
