    Heay Cnik,
    Ayyappan Sekar is right.
    PHPExcel is a library that can be used to generate xls( and many other formats ) file. Its purpose is to generate a file and not sending it on some id.

    What you can do is, first generate a file using PHPExcel library and save it somewhere.
    For sending email to some id, you can use http://php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php‘>mail function. However, its little complex to send emails with attachments using php’s mail function though not very difficult.

    Refer the links given below:

    2] Attach File Through PHP Mail (refer to the answer of asprin)
