It has a major bug (open since 2006) that randomly appears when dealing with large data sets: http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=6584 (and still hasnt been resolved) The library is easy to use, but unfortunately, it appears that no one is maintaining the Pear library for spreadsheet excel writer. I also tried PHPExcel, but that uses quite a LOT of additional memory. I just finished a project with the Pear Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer.
