require '../config/config.php';
$db = new Database();
$conn = $db->connect();
require_once '../../PHPExcel/Classes/PHPExcel.php';
$objPHPExcel = new PHPExcel();
$objPHPExcel->setActiveSheetIndex(0);
header('Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel; charset=utf-8');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="excelreport.xls"');
header('Cache-Control: max-age=0');
$objWriter = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createWriter($objPHPExcel, 'Excel5');
//ob_end_clean();

  • Did you try to upload the resulting file to an online virus scanner? I don't know if this is a warnung by the browser or by your installed anti virus software. If it's the first - did you try another browser? Otherwise you could upload the resulting file to the software company and flag it as false positive.

  • You could do this - just for fun (or to be sure, you never know). At the same time you could, like already mentioned, upload it as "false positive" to the developers of the software which flagged this file as dangerous. In my experience they respond quickly and if it's a false positive they should update their signatures.

  • That's suspect indeed. Then you should really investigate this. The other possibility would be that your server or maybe your copy of phpexcel is somehow infected. This could cause the injection of malware into the downloads. These are my two ideas which I could think of. The last one may seem a bit paranoid though.
