Description: ------------ Version 0.9.0 of spreadsheet_excel_writer setTempDir sets the temporary directory used for the OLE file, but it does not set the temp directory used by the Worksheet class to store the main data in function _append. This can be a problem when the PHP process has permissions to write to the directory specified in setTempDir but not to that chosen by other means. The result is an Excel spreadsheet with the header and the footer, but no data, and hence unreadable. Also, spreadsheet_excel_writer does not throw any errors if it fails to write to either location.

Hello, I checked in my /tmp directory in my Red Hat Server and the OLE files are saved with 0 bytes, and I suppose the reason is the one you explained in here. Is there a way to solve this problem, a tip you can give me for this...I don't want to use csv or another classes for this
