    Why not just produce an HTML table if you wanna enable copy and paste into excel table cells? Last I checked that worked.

    Edit:

    <?php
#example
$var1 = "Apples";
$var2 = "Oranges";
$var3 = "Pears";
echo "<table><tr><td>$var1</td><td>$var2</td><td>$var3</td></tr></table>";

    With this in a browser (page displayed as HTML of course), copy+paste of the text should produce your text in columns like you want.
