Or maybe you want to check out this: http://www.codeplex.com/PHPExcel
I havn't checked it out for your special purpose but i found it useful for some other jobs (especially excell 2007 support).

The Excel format is closed, and as such, the PHP classes won't have full support for all of it's features. It seems like formatting is causing the data to be written to the spreadsheet differently maybe. Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk
