README

This is a php library based on PhpSpreadsheet which simplifies converting html tables to excel files. It allows styling right within the html template with specific attributes.

Installation

Add HtmlPhpExcel to your composer.json:

composer require quytvoday/htmlphpexcel

Simple example

<?php

require_once('../vendor/autoload.php');

$html = '<table><tr><th>Column A</th><th>Column B</th></tr><tr><td>Value A</td><td>Value B</td></tr></table>';
$htmlPhpExcel = new \Ticketpark\HtmlPhpExcel\HtmlPhpExcel($html);

// Create and output the excel file to the browser
$htmlPhpExcel->process()->output();

// Alternatively create the excel and save to a file
$htmlPhpExcel->process()->save('myFile.xlsx');

// or get the \PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\Spreadsheet object to do further work with it
$phpExcelObject = $htmlPhpExcel->process()->getExcelObject();

For a more complex example with styling options see example directory.

Styling

There is support for specific html attributes to allow styling of the excel output. The attributes expect the content to be json_encoded.

• _excel-styles
  Supports everything which is possible with PhpSpreadsheet's applyFromArray() method (also see here).

Example:

<table>
    <tr>
        <td _excel-styles='{"font":{"size":16,"color":{"rgb":"FF0000"}}}'>Foo</td>
    </tr>
</table>

• _excel-dimensions
  Supports changing dimensions of rows (when applied to a <tr> or <td>) or column (when applied to a <td>),

Example:

<table>
    <tr _excel-dimensions='{"row":{"rowHeight":50}}'>
        <td _excel-dimensions='{"column":{"width":20}}'>Foo</td>
    </tr>
</table>

• _excel-explicit
  Supports applying an explicit cell value type.

Example:

<table>
    <tr>
        <td _excel-explicit='PhpSpreadsheet_Cell_DataType::TYPE_STRING'>0022</td>
    </tr>
</table>
