PhpSpreadsheet is a library written in pure PHP and providing a set of
|
|
classes that allow you to read from and to write to different
|
|
spreadsheet file formats, like Excel and LibreOffice Calc.

# Getting started
|
|
|
|
## Software requirements
|
|
|
|
The following software is required to develop using PhpSpreadsheet:
|
|
|
|
- PHP version 5.6 or newer
|
|
- PHP extension php\_zip enabled
|
|
- PHP extension php\_xml enabled
|
|
- PHP extension php\_gd2 enabled (if not compiled in)
|
|
|
|
### PHP version support
|
|
|
|
Support for PHP versions will only be maintained for a period of six months beyond the end-of-life of that PHP version
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
Use [composer](https://getcomposer.org/) to install PhpSpreadsheet into your project:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
composer require phpoffice/phpspreadsheet
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Note:** If you want the unreleased, unstable development version use
|
|
`phpoffice/phpspreadsheet:dev-develop` instead.
|
|
|
|
## Hello World
|
|
|
|
This would be the simplest way to write a spreadsheet:
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
<?php
|
|
|
|
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
|
|
|
|
use PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\Spreadsheet;
|
|
use PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\Writer\Xlsx;
|
|
|
|
$spreadsheet = new Spreadsheet();
|
|
$sheet = $spreadsheet->getActiveSheet();
|
|
$sheet->setCellValue('A1', 'Hello World !');
|
|
|
|
$writer = new Xlsx($spreadsheet);
|
|
$writer->save('hello world.xlsx');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Learn by example
|
|
|
|
A good way to get started is to run some of the samples. Serve the samples via
|
|
PHP built-in webserver:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
php -S localhost:8000 -t vendor/phpoffice/phpspreadsheet/samples
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then point your browser to:
|
|
|
|
> http://localhost:8000/
|
|
|
|
The samples may also be run directly from the command line, for example:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
php vendor/phpoffice/phpspreadsheet/samples/01_Simple.php
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
