PhpSpreadsheet is a library written in pure PHP and offers a set of classes that
|
|
allow you to read and write various spreadsheet file formats such as Excel and LibreOffice Calc.
|
|
|

## Patreon
|
|
|
|
I am now running a [Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/MarkBaker) to support the work that I do on PhpSpreadsheet.
|
|
|
|
Supporters will receive access to articles about working with PhpSpreadsheet, and how to use some of its more advanced features.
|
|
|
|
Posts already available to Patreon supporters:
|
|
- The Dating Game
|
|
- A look at how MS Excel (and PhpSpreadsheet) handle date and time values.
|
|
- Looping the Loop
|
|
- Advice on Iterating through the rows and cells in a worksheet.
|
|
|
|
And for Patrons at levels actively using PhpSpreadsheet:
|
|
- Behind the Mask
|
|
- A look at Number Format Masks.
|
|
|
|
The Next Article (currently Work in Progress):
|
|
- Formula for Success
|
|
- How to debug formulae that don't produce the expected result.
|
|
|
|
|
|
My aim is to post at least one article each month, taking a detailed look at some feature of MS Excel and how to use that feature in PhpSpreadsheet, or on how to perform different activities in PhpSpreadsheet.
|
|
|
|
Planned posts for the future include topics like:
|
|
- Tables
|
|
- Structured References
|
|
- AutoFiltering
|
|
- Array Formulae
|
|
- Conditional Formatting
|
|
- Data Validation
|
|
- Value Binders
|
|
- Images
|
|
- Charts
|
|
|
|
After a period of six months exclusive to Patreon supporters, articles will be incorporated into the public documentation for the library.

## PHPExcel vs PhpSpreadsheet ?
|
|
|
|
PhpSpreadsheet is the next version of PHPExcel. It breaks compatibility to dramatically improve the code base quality (namespaces, PSR compliance, use of latest PHP language features, etc.).
|
|
|
|
Because all efforts have shifted to PhpSpreadsheet, PHPExcel will no longer be maintained. All contributions for PHPExcel, patches and new features, should target PhpSpreadsheet `master` branch.
|
|
|
|
Do you need to migrate? There is [an automated tool](/docs/topics/migration-from-PHPExcel.md) for that.
