Just dump to comma delmited or tab delimited.  Then import into Excel.

I'm starting to work with on a project with a co-worker.  He's building
a very nice system database in postgress with an php front end.  One
problem just came up.  There are execs who've found out about it and
want to be able to read the data in excel.  He knows how to extract the
information from the database with PHP but needs to convert it to an
excel spread sheet.

Anyone know a php module or even a perl module that'll convert CSV or
php data to an excel spread sheet?  Giving them CSV data and expecting
them to import it is too much work we've been told.

(It's semi off topic because it's Linix+php+postgress and the only other
solutions he can find are windows based which we REALY don't want to
do.)


:wq!
