Append data to existing file PHPExcel

Hi,

Creating a new export file with PhpExcel library seems very easy, but when I try to open an existing excel file and write in that file I have problems, can anyone help me on this matter?




$xls = PHPExcel_IOFactory::load($download.'/'.$this->getFileName());

....

//add data to the file

....

$objWriter = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createWriter($xls, 'Excel5');

$objWriter->save($download.'/'.$this->getFileName());



The error that I receive is an exception that is raised I suppose but I can not get the whole error to be displayed because of the unregister command that we need to call before initializing a PHPExcel object.

Therefore the error that I get is CExpection class is not found, but due to debugging I found out that the problem comes from this line:

$objWriter->save($download.’/’.$this->getFileName());

I have checked and the $download.’/’.$this->getFileName() has the correct value.

Thank you in advance for your help.
