How to php export to excel

[Ole Raptor]

good example here http://www.appservnetwork.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=8

[nav33n]

<?php
$filename ="excelreport.xls";
$contents = "testdata1 \t testdata2 \t testdata3 \t \n";
header('Content-type: application/ms-excel');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='.$filename);
echo $contents;
 ?>

This is the simplest way to generate an excel report.

Hey Karthik.R,
Thanks for your Reply.I resolved my Error. Actually it was headers problem. I turned off all the errors and warnings. Now I have another problem. I am exporting time to ods file. After exporting in ods(openoffice) file, the Time (e.g 08:00) is showing as 08:00:00 AM. I want to show it as it is in my db. Do you know have any idea about that. Kindly Post here.

[karthik_ppts]

Sorry i'm not clear with your question. What you mean by ods file?
