Hi,
I recently experimented a bit with Excel using COM
(Excel 8 aka Excel97 and PHP 4.3 / 4.4-dev on WIN98SE).

It is quite hairy, especially because the PHP COM
implementation does not yet implement all the needed
VARIANT subtypes (most notably multi dimensional 
safe arrays), so a lot of objects are not yet reachable.

If writing true XLS files is essential though, one can say
it is possible.

If you are interested, drop me a note and I will mail you a 
script reading and writing XLS files.
