shanthini Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Hi, I am using Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer for generating excel file. While installing (PEAR and OLE-1.0.0RC3) and testing I got warnings as *“continue” targeting switch is equivalent to “break”. Did you mean to use “continue 2” Against this line ‘& $workbook->addFormat()’ I am getting notice as Only variables should be assigned by reference Could you please suggest whether Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer is compatible with PHP 7.3 Thanks Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/310635-could-you-please-suggest-whether-spreadsheet_excel_writer-is-compatible-with-php-73/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxxd Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 The github repo is marked unmaintained and the pear page shows the last release was in 2017, so I think it's probably not a safe bet. However, you could try it and see if anything errors out...

kicken Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 If you want to generate spreadsheets, look into updating to phpoffice/phpspreadsheet.

shanthini Posted April 24, 2020 Author Share Posted April 24, 2020 @maxxd and @kicken, Thanks for your reply. Actually I am using phpspreadsheet for few reports. Since this is getting too long for larger reports, we tried Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/310635-could-you-please-suggest-whether-spreadsheet_excel_writer-is-compatible-with-php-73/#findComment-1577171 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will more than likely have better luck with a maintained component based package, than trying to get one working that was originally in pear and has long ago been abandoned.
