Has anyone of you ever used php_writeexcel (http://www.bettina-attack.de/jonny/view.php/projects/php_writeexcel/)?
I would like to know if there is an easy way to enable utf-8 support. php_writeexcel exports html to Microsoft Excel documents, yet it can’t display certain characters:
Perhaps I could solve this with some php functions?
Thanks for your help!
Php_writeexcel is a port of the Perl module Spreadsheet::WriteExcel. However, the port is from a time when Unicode strings weren’t supported in the underlying Excel file format.
Later (2.xx) versions of Spreadsheet::WriteExcel have native support for Unicode but they haven’t been ported to PHP.
As such you won’t be able to handle Unicode strings with php_writeexcel.
