Description: ------------ When exporting an Ecxel document that contains multi-byte characters, the Excel driver needs to be set to version 8 and to have the encoding set according to what the input is. I've included a fix for this by setting the version when the input encoding has been specified, since it will not work with anything below version 8. Test script: --------------- /** * Encoding for use with the worksheet input strings. * @var string */ var $_encoding; -------------------- /** * Sets the input encoding used when adding rows to the worksheet. * * @access public * @params string $encoding The selected encoding for use with iconv */ -------------------- function setEncoding($encoding) { $this->_encoding = $encoding; } /** * Get the spreadsheet object * * @access public */ function &getSpreadsheet() { $dg =& $this->_dg; if ($this->_sendToBrowser) { $this->_workbook = new Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer(); $this->_workbook->send($this->_filename); } else { $this->_workbook = new Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer($this->_filename); } $this->_worksheet =& $this->_workbook->addWorksheet(); if (!empty($this->_encoding)) { $this->_workbook->setVersion(8); $this->_worksheet->setInputEncoding($this->_encoding); } --------------------
