Symfony sfPHPExcelPlugin in Linux

Question

Hi!

I'm using the PHPExcel plugin for Symfony 1.4 (sfPHPExcelPlugin) on Ubuntu (using PHP 5.10), with this code for saving the file that I am writing:

// Save Excel 2007 file
echo date('H:i:s') . " Write to Excel2007 format\n";
$objWriter = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createWriter($objPHPExcel, 'Excel2007');
$objWriter->save(str_replace('.php', '.xlsx', __FILE__));

// Echo done
echo date('H:i:s') . " Done writing file.\r\n";

I am sure that the execution is reaching this part of the code, because the echo messages are shown but I am not downloading the Excel file! Could it be because I am trying it in Linux, not in Windows?

Thank you!

There is nothing in this code that results in you downloading the file. It simply saves it to the disk.
