Hello.

I'm having a ton of problems trying to get cakephp to generate excel
files correctly,  and I was wondering if anyone out there has any info/
suggestions.

So far I have tried the following:

1.  Re-writing  a class I found on phpclasses.org  (http://
phpclasses.promoxy.com/browse/package/2037.html)
this method generates the files correctly,  but the problem is that
the xls files that are created do not open on Windows machines.   This
class works perfect from outside of cakephp -- it's a shame.

2. I attempted to implement this helper:   
http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/excel-xls-helper
using this method is ok, but  for larger result sets (more than 100
rows returned)  "bad" files are created which can not be opened by
Excel on any platform.

3.  The "Generate Excel spreadsheets from your database"  method --
http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/generate-excel-spreadsheets-from-your-database

I can not make this method work for the life of me.  With debugging
set to 0 the only result that's returned is complete gobbeldygook.

4.  I have attempted to use PEAR's  spreadsheet_excel_writer
module,   but we are hitting an open_basedir  error/warning.  We're
trying to work that out right now.

I can post code examples. Any help, suggestion,  or advice would be
greatly appreciated.   I'm tearing my eyeballs out over this.

Thanks World!!!!

4.  Using  the raw PEAR 'Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer'  module --  this
method is producing an open_basedir  warning/error,  and  we are
attempting to work out the problem with our server ppl.
