Overview

xlswriter is a PHP C extension for reading and writing Excel 2007+ XLSX files.

The English documentation is organised by feature: install the extension, walk through the quick start for both writing and reading, then dive into the topic that matches the task — cell content, worksheet management, styling, charts, conditional formatting, data validation, Excel tables, page setup, workbook properties, defined names, sheet protection, the reader API, CSV conversion and helper utilities.
