Question
I am trying to output a few paragraphs of text in an Excel spreadsheet, but right now the text is truncated to display only 255 characters. The code is pretty straightforward:
$xls =& new Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer();
$sheet =& $xls->addWorksheet($name);
foreach ($rec as $field) {
$rec = ($rec['data'] ? $rec['data'] : $rec);
$sheet->write($row, $col++, $field);
}
Is there anything I can do to get all of the text, not just the 255 chars?
Solution
From a note in the documentation:
$workbook->setVersion(8); // Use Excel97/2000 Format
$worksheet->writeString(0, 0, $str);
