Best Excel creation lib for PHP
We were testing PHP Spreadsheet and Spout (https://github.com/box/spout). We chose Spout because of its low memory footprint. It is using streams so it is much lighter than PHP Spreadsheet, although it is missing quite a bit of features that PHP Spreadsheet has.

What's the best practice in modifying/inserting values in specific cells of an existing excel file?
If you don't have a lot of formatting requirements beyond just the placement of the data in the correct fields, I really enjoy Box/Spout (https://opensource.box.com/spout/), and they have a way to install it without composer.

Storing an Excel column's values in a simple, flat array w/ PhpSpreadsheet?
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...?
