    Hello all,

    I am having a webpage which contains an HTML table which is populated through PHP dynamically. I want the users to export this specific table (Not all tables) to excel file, and then may be they will be able to save it on there disk. I don’t know how to do it. I even don’t know where to start. Please guide me through ..

    Thanks.

    Your best bet would be to write the data out into a text file. Name the file whatever.csv and put a comma between the fields that you write out.

    There you have a CSV file. Which, although not strictly an Excel formatted file will open in Excel.

    If you wan’t to be simple, just write it as CSV file.
    If you need more features, try PHPExcel, it’s a PHP class that generate/parse MS excel format with PHP.
