Question

Hello All, Greetings !!

Is there any other way to insert image on xls sheet using PHP5.i am very new to php ,it will be a great help .

[edit] Here is the code, as per Aman's comment below:

$sew =& new Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer ();
$worksheet =& $sew->addWorksheet (substr (strval ($name).strval ($sht), 0, 31));
$worksheet->insertBitmap ($row,$col,$image,$x,$y,$scale_x,$scale_y);

I never could get Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer to work properly with image insertions. Not sure if it's a bug in the library or what. But in any case, S_E_W is hideously outdated, you should switch to PHPExcel instead, which supports recent Excel formats (including .xlsx) for reading AND writing, whereas S_E_W is limited to BIFF 5.0, which is Excel '95 (or thereabouts) and only supports writing.
