PHPOffice is a collection of free open-source PHP libraries for reading and writing files from a wide variety of document formats. Currently there are three projects associated with PHPOffice: PHPSpreadsheet, PHPPresentation, and PHPWord. (Previous names for the first two were PHPExcel and PHPPowerPoint.) The libraries for all projects are built on Microsoft's OpenXML standard and PHP.
Product history
The PHPOffice "collection" didn't really come together until a GitHub project was started on June 10, 2012, incorporating the PHPExcel, PHPPowerPoint, and PHPWord projects. Members of that GitHub project included Maarten Balliauw, original creater of PHPExcel, and Mark Baker, a key developer/coordinator for all three projects.[2]
PHPSpreadsheet (formerly PHPExcel)
In December 2006, developer Maarten Balliauw began working on PHP-based Excel 2007 classes "to check how hard it could be to create Excel 2007 files using PHP5."[3] Encouraged by his progress, Balliauw continued with the open-source project, hosted on Microsoft CodePlex. This eventually led to a version 1.0.0 release of those classes as PHPExcel on February 23, 2007.[1] Of the tree PHPOffice projects, PHPExcel remains the most active one as of January 2013, with a stable release of 1.7.8 arriving in October 2012.
PHPPresentation (formerly PHPPowerPoint)
An alpha version (0.1.0) of PHPPowerPoint was introduced to Microsoft CodePlex by PHPExcel developer Maarten Balliauw on April 25, 2009.[4]
PHPWord
A beta version (0.6.0) of PHPWord was introduced to Microsoft CodePlex on March 20, 2010, followed by an updated 0.6.2 in July 2011.[5]
