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 to install PhpSpreadsheet into your project:

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

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:

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:

php vendor/phpoffice/phpspreadsheet/samples/01_Simple.php

Learn by documentation

For more in-depth documentation, you may read about an overview of the architecture, creating a spreadsheet, worksheets, accessing cells and reading and writing to files.
