  • You can't open an Excel spreadsheet in a browser (without some kind of Office plugin, maybe. My memories of Internet Explorer are hazy. But that would happen automatically). Being client-side, it doesn't have anything to do with PHP. You could generate an HTML wrapper/replacement for it with a download link, though. Commented Jan 16, 2013 at 5:37

  • @PrasanthBendra: Google Docs is an office suite for the web. It stands to reason that you can open its documents online. Excel is not the same thing. If you're talking about how Gmail can display Excel attachments - Google Docs converts them. It's a Google thing. Commented Jan 16, 2013 at 5:51
