PHPExcel integration into Zend Framework

Question

how can I integrate the PHPExcel into my Zend app.

My actual folder structure is the following:

/application
  controllers
  views  
  etc...
/librar         


        

Answer 1

It needs to be in your include path.

If you ever need a custom autoloader for other libraries that don't follow PSR-0, there's this too: Autoload PhpThumb with Zend Framework (disclaimer: I'm the author).

Answer 2

Additionally I added a "\" on the line where PHPExcel_IOFactory uses In Controller Class:

public function reporteauditoriaAction()
{
    $objPHPExcel = new \PHPExcel();
    $objPHPExcel->createSheet();
    $objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->setCellValue('A1', 'Alejin Wbn');
    $objWriter = \PHPExcel_IOFactory::createWriter($objPHPExcel, "Excel2007");
    $objWriter->save("pruebaPhpExcelZend.xlsx"); 
    //$objPHPExcel->disconnectWorksheets();
    //unset($objPHPExcel);
    $consulta= "Reporte Auditoria, Reconocio los Archivos";
    $vista = new ViewModel(array( "consulta"=>$consulta));
    return $vista;        
}

Answer 3

Place the PHPExcel library into the /library folder, like this:

/application
...
/library
    /PHPExcel
    /PHPExcel.php

Next, in your application.ini config file, add the following:

autoloaderNamespaces[] = "PHPExcel_"
autoloaderNamespaces[] = "PHPExcel"

That should do it. Autoloader takes care of the rest, and you can just start using the example code to read an Excel file.

Update: Added the extra autoloaderNamespace as suggested by commenters

I have same issue and i solved it update the composer and in my project folder phpoffice saved inside the vendor module (not in lib). And adding "\" on the PHPExcel_IOFactory whereever you seen.

Answer 5

I know it's 2 years since the question is asked but it may help someone; the easiest way ( not the optimal) is to extract the PHPExcel folder in your Public and then just use the old way ex; (in your controller actions):

                include 'PHPExcel.php';
                include 'PHPExcel/Writer/Excel2007.php';

                $myobject = new PHPExcel();

Answer 6

I found one solution:

require_once 'PHPExcel/PHPExcel/IOFactory.php';

If somebody has a better one, please keep posting!
