If you are using a trial, generate a trial license file from EasyXLS trials page. The trial license is valid for 30-days.
If you own a license key, you may login to the account that purchased the license and generate the license file from: https://www.easyxls.com/my-orders
Setup the license file into your project using these guidelines.
Step 5: Run PHP code that sets custom and details properties for Excel file
Execute the following PHP code that sets the document properties of an Excel file, properties like subject, manager and a custom property.

$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.
EasyXLS on Linux, Mac, Windows using Java with PHP
If you opt for the Java version of EasyXLS, a similar code as above requires PHP/Java Bridge between PHP and Java.
To download the trial version of EasyXLS Excel Library, press the below button:
If you already own a license key, you may login and download EasyXLS from your account.
Step 2: License file setup
Step required for EasyXLS v9.0 or later.
If you are using a trial, generate a trial license file from EasyXLS trials page. The trial license is valid for 30-days.
If you own a license key, you may login to the account that purchased the license and generate the license file from: https://www.easyxls.com/my-orders
Setup the license file into your project using these guidelines.

Linux and PHP This code sample works just the way it is for PHP on Windows, but PHP under Linux requires also PHP/Java Bridge and a similar code sample in Java.
