Is csv equal to excel? So we do not need extra library for the excel to be installed is it?
csv is good for excel its works fine create one thru excel and you will get it (p.s. csv = comma separated values)
if it is just a csv file how will be a .xls file then? How to come out with the columns etc?
see this page and it will be brighter for you admin.easymail.rmplc.co.uk/admin_help/csv.htm
if say I have my columns and rows set with color on the html then how to transfer into .csv?

I went to the site but I dont see any relevance to pdf or excel?
when u create report it can export to what u want format pdf excel csv etc
How will this birt component help in php programming as it is built for java environment right?
yes you need to install tomcat server to birt run read the installation guide in your php web application you can give URL path to the reports then user can click and on that load the reports reports loading from tomcat server
the installation guide is more for windows how about linux? so it can support what format reports?
