there is a bug in safe_mode
this object doesnt send data to client when save mode is enabled

I can verify that this package returns a 0 byte file when using it in safe mode.

Well, my host (swiftwill.com) figured this bug out.
Turns out this is not a bug, but basically the restrictions of safe_mode in PHP.
This package tries to create a file in /tmp/ and based on some safe_mode restrictions, this is where it fails.
You can fix this by setting the temporary directory for the file using this function:
$workbook->setTempDir($AbsoluteServerPathToTheTempDir);
Make sure the directory is chmod 777
This worked for me.

safe_mode as the name implies restricts usage of several php functions. The functions in question regarding this problem are tempnam() and fopen()

You can either use the solution Lukas provided or run without safe_mode.
