Fix #4584. As discussed there, MS has implemented this situation in a way that I frankly do not understand. Marking a row with a wrapped cell to *not* use the default row height seems to affect every other populated row. Very odd. Nevertheless, adding a new `customFormat` boolean property to RowDimension seems to be a way to resolve this problem. Note that the Xml generated by Excel already outputs a `customFormat` attribute when a style is applied to a row. This PR just adds that property for when it is needed for rowHeight. It need not, and should not, be set by the application when a style is applied to the row; PhpSpreadsheet will take care of that on its own. Although the problem was raised for Xlsx format (I think), I investigated other relevant output formats as well. Html tends to do its own cell wrapping. I think the results after this change match the results before. Xls already handled the output side of this situation without difficulty. A change was needed on the input side, and is included as part of this PR. Ods did not handle default row height at all. As with other style properties, it is difficult to handle this on the input side, and this PR does nothing to improve that situation. However, we are, at least, able to provide some relief on the output side. Not complete relief - in order to apply the default size to unpopulated rows, we'd need to at least populate them with the `table:number-rows-repeated` attribute, and that has often been a source of problems, so I'm not willing to go there yet. This PR just ensures that all populated rows will have the correct height.
PhpSpreadsheet
PhpSpreadsheet is a library written in pure PHP and offers a set of classes that allow you to read and write various spreadsheet file formats such as Excel and LibreOffice Calc.
This is the master branch, and is maintained for security and bug fixes.
PHP Version Support
LTS: For maintained branches, support for PHP versions will only be maintained for a period of six months beyond the end of life of that PHP version.
Currently the required PHP minimum version is PHP 8.1, and we will support that version until 30th June 2026.
See the composer.json for other requirements.
Installation
See the install instructions.
Documentation
Read more about it, including install instructions, in the official documentation. Or check out the API documentation.
Please ask your support questions on StackOverflow, or have a quick chat on Gitter.
Patreon
I am now running a Patreon to support the work that I do on PhpSpreadsheet.
Supporters will receive access to articles about working with PhpSpreadsheet, and how to use some of its more advanced features.
Posts already available to Patreon supporters:
- The Dating Game
- A look at how MS Excel (and PhpSpreadsheet) handle date and time values.
- Looping the Loop
- Advice on Iterating through the rows and cells in a worksheet.
And for Patrons at levels actively using PhpSpreadsheet:
- Behind the Mask
- A look at Number Format Masks.
The Next Article (currently Work in Progress):
- Formula for Success
- How to debug formulae that don't produce the expected result.
My aim is to post at least one article each month, taking a detailed look at some feature of MS Excel and how to use that feature in PhpSpreadsheet, or on how to perform different activities in PhpSpreadsheet.
Planned posts for the future include topics like:
- Tables
- Structured References
- AutoFiltering
- Array Formulae
- Conditional Formatting
- Data Validation
- Value Binders
- Images
- Charts
After a period of six months exclusive to Patreon supporters, articles will be incorporated into the public documentation for the library.
PHPExcel vs PhpSpreadsheet ?
PhpSpreadsheet is the next version of PHPExcel. It breaks compatibility to dramatically improve the code base quality (namespaces, PSR compliance, use of latest PHP language features, etc.).
Because all efforts have shifted to PhpSpreadsheet, PHPExcel will no longer be maintained. All contributions for PHPExcel, patches and new features, should target PhpSpreadsheet master branch.
Do you need to migrate? There is an automated tool for that.
