Requirements PHPExcel library

• PHP version 5.5.0 or higher
• PHP extension php_zip enabled (required if you need PHPExcel to handle .xlsx .ods or .gnumeric files)
• PHP extension php_xml enabled
• PHP extension php_gd2 enabled (optional, but required for exact column width autocalculation)

Installation

With composer

1. Add to your composer.json :

   $composer require liuggio/excelbundle

   $ php composer.phar require mvlabs/mvlabs-phpexcel

2. Now tell composer to download MvlabsPHPExcel by running the command:

   $ php composer.phar update

Post installation

1. Enabling it in your application.config.phpfile.

   <?php
   return [
       'modules' => [
           // ...
           'MvlabsPHPExcel',            
       ],
       // ...
   ];

Usage

The module registers one service:

• the mvlabs.phpexcel.service service allows you to interact with Excel files;

• Creating a new workbook: If you want to create a new workbook, then you simply need to instantiate it as a new PHPExcel object.

$phpExcelObject = $this->serviceLocator->get('mvlabs.phpexcel.service')->createPHPExcelObject();

• Loading a Workbook from a file:

$phpExcelObject = $this->serviceLocator->get('mvlabs.phpexcel.service')->createPHPExcelObject('myExcelFile.xls');

• Create a Excel2007 and save it to a file:

$myWriter = $this->serviceLocator->get('mvlabs.phpexcel.service')->createWriter($phpExcelObject, 'Excel2007');
$myWriter->save('myExcelFile.xls');

Render a excel document as response from a controller

    public function testPHPExcelAction() {
        // I recommend constructor injection for all needed dependencies ;-)
        $this->phpExcelService = $this->serviceLocator->get('mvlabs.phpexcel.service');
        
        $objPHPExcel = $this->phpExcelService->createPHPExcelObject();
        $objPHPExcel->getProperties()->setCreator("Diego Drigani")
            ->setLastModifiedBy("Diego Drigani")
            ->setTitle("MvlabsPHPExcel Test Document")
            ->setSubject("MvlabsPHPExcel Test Document")
            ->setDescription("Test document for MvlabsPHPExcel, generated using Zend Framework 2 and PHPExcel.")
            ->setKeywords("office PHPExcel php zf2 mvlabs")
            ->setCategory("Test result file");
        $objPHPExcel->setActiveSheetIndex(0)
            ->setCellValue('A1', 'Hello')
            ->setCellValue('B2', 'world!')
            ->setCellValue('C1', 'Hello')
            ->setCellValue('D2', 'world!');
        $objPHPExcel->setActiveSheetIndex(0)
            ->setCellValue('A4', 'Miscellaneous glyphs')
            ->setCellValue('A5', 'éàèùâêîôûëïüÿäöüç');

        $objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->setCellValue('A8',"Hello\nWorld");
        $objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->getRowDimension(8)->setRowHeight(-1);
        $objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->getStyle('A8')->getAlignment()->setWrapText(true);
        $objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->setTitle('Mvlabs');
        $objPHPExcel->setActiveSheetIndex(0);

        $objWriter = $this->phpExcelService->createWriter($objPHPExcel, 'Excel2007' );

        $response = $this->phpExcelService->createHttpResponse($objWriter, 200, [
            'Pragma' => 'public',
            'Cache-control' => 'must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0',
            'Cache-control' => 'private',
            'Expires' => '0000-00-00',
            'Content-Type' => 'application/vnd.ms-excel; charset=utf-8',
            'Content-Disposition' => 'attachment; filename=' . 'myTest.xls',
            ]);

        return $response;
    
    }
