Requirements |
| 26 |
------------ |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
The following requirements should be met prior to using PHPExcel: |
| 29 |
* PHP version 5.2.0 or higher |
| 30 |
* PHP extension php_zip enabled *) |
| 31 |
* PHP extension php_xml enabled |
| 32 |
* PHP extension php_gd2 enabled (if not compiled in) |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
*) php_zip is only needed by PHPExcel_Reader_Excel2007, PHPExcel_Writer_Excel2007, |
| 35 |
PHPExcel_Reader_OOCalc. In other words, if you need PHPExcel to handle .xlsx or .ods |
| 36 |

Installation instructions |
| 41 |
------------------------- |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
Installation is quite easy: copy the contents of the Classes folder to any location |
| 44 |
in your application required. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
Example: |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
If your web root folder is /var/www/ you may want to create a subfolder called |
| 49 |
/var/www/Classes/ and copy the files into that folder so you end up with files: |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
/var/www/Classes/PHPExcel.php |
| 52 |
/var/www/Classes/PHPExcel/Calculation.php |
| 53 |
/var/www/Classes/PHPExcel/Cell.php |
| 54 |
... |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
Getting started |
| 59 |
--------------- |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
A good way to get started is to run some of the tests included in the download. |
| 62 |
Copy the "Examples" folder next to your "Classes" folder from above so you end up with: |
| 63 |
|
| 64 |
/var/www/Examples/01simple.php |
| 65 |
/var/www/Examples/02types.php |
| 66 |
... |
| 67 |
|
| 68 |
Start running the test by pointing your browser to the test scripts: |
| 69 |
|
| 70 |
http://example.com/Examples/01simple.php |
| 71 |
http://example.com/Examples/02types.php |
| 72 |
... |
| 73 |
|
| 74 |
Note: It may be necessary to modify the include/require statements at the beginning of |
| 75 |
each of the test scripts if your "Classes" folder from above is named differently. |
| 76 |
