PhpSpreadsheet VS wink

We have used a PHP Script to do this https://github.com/PHPOffice/PhpSpreadsheet

If I need the data to be well-formatted in Excel, directly from the export, then I use PhpSpreadsheet. Otherwise, I'll just write to a CSV file.

I'm using PhpSpreadsheet to generate an Excel file. It works really well, but now I'd like to reopen the file it created downstream and assign every cell value in one specific column to a simple, flat array where, say, the 1 key of this array might be the name of the column and the values are the column's cell values? Or even just a simple array with only the values...?

For the library, there is PhpOffice

a full list of sizes is in this file, https://github.com/PHPOffice/PhpSpreadsheet/blob/master/src/PhpSpreadsheet/Worksheet/PageSetup.php

You can use phpspreadsheet. It's the library that LaravelExcel relies on. Here's samples from their git repo: https://github.com/PHPOffice/PhpSpreadsheet/blob/master/samples/Chart/33_Chart_create_pie.php

I think he's using his own project: https://github.com/themsaid/wink

Note: I'm using Laravel Wink by Mohamed Said and its brilliant, it takes out the stress of building the blog functionality yourself (although that is quite fun to do also :P)

However, if you are planning to build a Laravel blog by yourself, you don't have to start from scratch! There is a Laravel great package called Wink developed by Mohamed Said which gives you a very nice headstart with an amazing UI where you can manage your posts!

Wink adds a nice UI where you can manage a publication of any size with posts, pages, tags, and authors.
