First you need this header:
header("Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel");
Then here is a message I got a while ago from Pierre-Yves Lemaire:
Hello,
The header will make netscape offer you a download of the file, and
IE will open it in a excell format.
For the display, just put your result in a nice html table and excell will
convert
it, it's quite simple.
print "<table>";
print "<th>Event</th>";
... print all your header here
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
print "<tr>\n";
print "<td>". $row['Event'] ."</td>\n";
and so on...
}
</table>
hope it help,
py
