Example on how to download an Excel file created with PhpSpreadsheet

sample.php

<?php

$streamedResponse = new StreamedResponse();
$streamedResponse->setCallback(function () {
      $spreadsheet = //create you spreadsheet here;

      $writer =  new Xlsx($spreadsheet);
      $writer->save('php://output');
});

$streamedResponse->setStatusCode(Response::HTTP_OK);
$streamedResponse->headers->set('Content-Type', 'application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet');
$streamedResponse->headers->set('Content-Disposition', 'attachment; filename="your_file.xlsx"');

return $streamedResponse->send();`

It was an excerpt from the code, but thank you for pointing it out. I hope that no one will just blindly copy and paste it.

Any way to use id "standalone" without the Symfony components?

Any way to use id "standalone" without the Symfony components?

<?php

$spreadsheet = new Spreadsheet();
$sheet = $spreadsheet->getActiveSheet();
$sheet->setCellValue('A1', 'Hello World !');

header('Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment;filename="GeneratedFile.xlsx"');
header('Cache-Control: max-age=0');

$writer = new Xlsx($spreadsheet);
$writer->save('php://output');

I would add fastcgi_finish_request(); at the end:
