Excel Generator Url

SUMMARY

This module is useful to generate an excel file by clicking a link that points to an url created by the module.

Excel Generator Url provides an URL that forces the download of the excel file.

The content of the excel file should be recorded on the $_SESSION array before the link is clicked but alternatively you can call the function directly passing the same structured array of data as parameter.

Calling the function directly requires that you create a reception URL and it's
preferable on a performance point of view when there are many users and the amount data
is big as the $_SESSION is copied as a file by PHP.

This module is interesting to allow fast coding as it gives a ready to use URL that you
can call from your theme or modules to download an excel file.

For a full API access of PHPExcel you should use other module like PHPExcel.
