Step 5: Run PHP code that converts XML spreadsheet to Excel

<?php/*===========================================================================
| Tutorial 41
|
| This tutorial shows how to convert XML spreadsheet to Excel in PHP. The
| XML Spreadsheet generated by Tutorial 32 is imported, some data is modified
| and after that is exported as Excel file.
*============================================================================*/header("Content-Type: text/html");
echo"Tutorial 41<br>";
echo"----------<br>";
// Create an instance of the class used to import/export Excel files
$workbook = new COM("EasyXLS.ExcelDocument");
// Import XML Spreadsheet fileecho"Reading file: C:\\Samples\\Tutorial32.xml<br>";
if ($workbook->easy_LoadXMLSpreadsheetFile_2("C:\\Samples\\Tutorial32.xml"))
{
// Get the table of data from the second sheet and add some data in cells (optional step)
$xlsTable = $workbook->easy_getSheetAt(1)->easy_getExcelTable();
$xlsTable->easy_getCell_2("A1")->setValue("Data added by Tutorial41");
for ($column=0; $column<5; $column++)
{
$xlsTable->easy_getCell(1, $column)->setValue("Data " . ($column + 1));
}
// Export Excel fileecho"Writing file: C:\Samples\Tutorial41 - convert XML spreadsheet to Excel.xlsx<br>";
$workbook->easy_WriteXLSXFile("C:\Samples\Tutorial41 - convert XML spreadsheet to Excel.xlsx");
// Confirm conversion of XML Spreadsheet to Excelif ($workbook->easy_getError() == "")
echo"File successfully created.";
elseecho"Error encountered: " . $workbook->easy_getError();
}
else
{
echo"Error reading file C:\Samples\Tutorial32.xml";
echo $workbook->easy_getError();
}
// Dispose memory
$workbook->Dispose();
$workbook = null;
?>
Overloaded methods For methods with same name but different parameters, only the first method overload retains the original name. Subsequent overloads are uniquely renamed by appending to the method name '_2', '_3', etc (method, method_2, method_3), an integer that corresponds to the order of declaration that can be found in EasyXLS.h, a file that comes with EasyXLS installation.
