Comment on Creating excel files through PHP by Matti

@Real: you can do all your mark-up with HTML, and Excell with parse it (or at least, some of it). Nothing fancy, just use CSS/headers in HTML and watch how Excel handles it.

Very good.
Now the users wants the program to set automatically the header, the bottom, the margin, etc… Is it possible ?

Comment on How To Reset A (Administrator) Password On A Windows Server 2003 by Zach

If you lost windows password. I think the best solution is making a windows password recovery disk with the third part utility. The disk works perfectly to recover windows password to “Blank”. It is also useful for administrator password recovery, you can wrote it to an blank CD or USB flash drive to recover administrator password. Booting up and clearing a password takes a minute or two works like a charm.

@Dragan; I guess that would also depend on the character encoding of the server. No experience with exporting to OpenOffice though, so I’m sorry I can’t be of more help.

@Bernat; no, only one sheet is possible, since it’s more of a dirty work-around/hack.

@Others; Thanks for the feedback, appreciate it. :)

I’m not calling it ThinkGeek’s plan either, but I blame Belgian customs. And no, I *should not have known about it*. Would you research every path a product follows before it arrives to you? No, you expect (in full faith) that the prices listed on websites are your cost, and don’t expect a middle-man to suddenly come in and double that charge.

You’re a lifesaver. I spent two days struggling with packages like phpexcel for doing something which you showed to be as simple as adding two lines to existing code.

Thanks.

Google wheres a patch for this???

Ehm. Point #2 and #3 – which realy are the only real complaints – have nothing to do with Thinkgeeks business plan, but are Belgian custom issues, *you* should have known about.
