Is this an automated process, or is it something the user requests via a
website, or maybe requested from a 5250 program?

Does it really need to go to a directory on the end user PC or should it
just open up in excel automatically?

Re: [WEB400] PHP to download any iSeries file in XL format to the local

Thanks Kelly & the rest who responded,

I do the conversion into XL on the iSeries itself which means I only need
to copy the file from the IFS to the local PC. Since I'm new to PHP this
will be my first project.

I wouldn't want to get started on a 'fading' Net.Data just for this -
which is why I prefer PHP.

Thanks & best regards
Ewart

If you search the Internet, you can find PHP classes and packages that are

used to create Excel files. Here are a few examples:

http://phpexcel.codeplex.com/
http://sourceforge.net/projects/psxlsgen/
http://www.codediesel.com/php/creating-excel-documents-in-php/
http://www.mt-soft.com.ar/2007/12/21/xls-php-class/

I'm not endorsing any of the above, and you should search for yourself to
see if something looks better for your needs.

I also don't know if all the classes and packages will work in a
Zend-on-i5 environment. They should. But I haven't tested any of them.

You should be able to develop a PHP utility that combines your own PHP
code with a PHP Excel package to read a DB2 table, get the column
headings, and produce an Excel file.

Subject: [WEB400] PHP to download any iSeries file in XL format to the

Hello All,

Do you know if anyone has create a utility in PHP to download any iSeries
file in XL format to a local directory ??

We usually do this in XL itself but only the field names & not the field
headings appear. Some users do not have this facility which is why I was
planning on developing a web based PHP utility.

Thanks & best regards
Ewart
