README

This bundle permits you to create, modify and read excel objects.

License

Version 2

This is the shiny new version. There is a big BC with the 1.* version, but unit tests, functional tests, and the new factory is very simple to use.

Version 1.*

If you have installed an old version, and you are happy to use it, you could find documentation and files in the tag v1.0.6, browse the code.

Things to know:

CSV is faster so if you have to create simple xls file, I encourage you to use the built-in function for csv: http://php.net/manual-lookup.php?pattern=csv&lang=en&scope=quickref

Installation

1 Add to composer.json to the require key

    $composer require liuggio/excelbundle

2 Register the bundle in app/AppKernel.php

    $bundles = array(
        // ...
        new Liuggio\ExcelBundle\LiuggioExcelBundle(),
    );

TL;DR

Create an empty object:

$phpExcelObject = $this->get('phpexcel')->createPHPExcelObject();

Create an object from a file:

$phpExcelObject = $this->get('phpexcel')->createPHPExcelObject('file.xls');

Create a Excel5 and write to a file given the object:

$writer = $this->get('phpexcel')->createWriter($phpExcelObject, 'Excel5');
$writer->save('file.xls');

Create a Excel5 and create a StreamedResponse:

$writer = $this->get('phpexcel')->createWriter($phpExcelObject, 'Excel5');
$response = $this->get('phpexcel')->createStreamedResponse($writer);

Create a Excel file with an image:

$writer = $this->get('phpexcel')->createPHPExcelObject();
$writer->setActiveSheetIndex(0);
$activesheet = $writer->getActiveSheet();

$drawingobject = $this->get('phpexcel')->createPHPExcelWorksheetDrawing();
$drawingobject->setName('Image name');
$drawingobject->setDescription('Image description');
$drawingobject->setPath('/path/to/image');
$drawingobject->setHeight(60);
$drawingobject->setOffsetY(20);
$drawingobject->setCoordinates('A1');
$drawingobject->setWorksheet($activesheet)

Not Only 'Excel5'

The list of the types are:

'Excel5'
'Excel2007'
'Excel2003XML'
'OOCalc'
'SYLK'
'Gnumeric'
'HTML'
'CSV'

Example

Fake Controller

The best place to start is the fake Controller at Tests/app/Controller/FakeController.php, that is a working example.

More example

You could find a lot of examples in the official PHPExcel repository https://github.com/PHPOffice/PHPExcel/tree/develop/Examples

For lazy devs

namespace YOURNAME\YOURBUNDLE\Controller;

use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\ResponseHeaderBag;

class DefaultController extends Controller
{

    public function indexAction($name)
    {
        // ask the service for a Excel5
       $phpExcelObject = $this->get('phpexcel')->createPHPExcelObject();

       $phpExcelObject->getProperties()->setCreator("liuggio")
           ->setLastModifiedBy("Giulio De Donato")
           ->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");
       $phpExcelObject->setActiveSheetIndex(0)
           ->setCellValue('A1', 'Hello')
           ->setCellValue('B2', 'world!');
       $phpExcelObject->getActiveSheet()->setTitle('Simple');
       // Set active sheet index to the first sheet, so Excel opens this as the first sheet
       $phpExcelObject->setActiveSheetIndex(0);

        // create the writer
        $writer = $this->get('phpexcel')->createWriter($phpExcelObject, 'Excel5');
        // create the response
        $response = $this->get('phpexcel')->createStreamedResponse($writer);
        // adding headers
        $dispositionHeader = $response->headers->makeDisposition(
            ResponseHeaderBag::DISPOSITION_ATTACHMENT,
            'stream-file.xls'
        );
        $response->headers->set('Content-Type', 'text/vnd.ms-excel; charset=utf-8');
        $response->headers->set('Pragma', 'public');
        $response->headers->set('Cache-Control', 'maxage=1');
        $response->headers->set('Content-Disposition', $dispositionHeader);

        return $response;        
    }
}
