You can also add Excel headers and send a HTML table and Excel will 
usually open it.

Be sure this goes to the browser first.

                $filename = 
strftime("add_your_filename_%y%m%d_%H%M.xls");
                 header("Content-type: application/x-msexcel");
                 header("Content-Disposition: attachment; 
filename=\"$filename\"");

Then a plain old HTML table should open in Excel.
