PhpSpreadsheet allows an easy way to set a spreadsheet's metadata, using
document property accessors. Spreadsheet metadata can be useful for
finding a specific document in a file repository or a document
management system. For example Microsoft Sharepoint uses document
metadata to search for a specific document in its document lists.

Setting spreadsheet metadata is done as follows:

In Excel, dates and Times are stored as numeric values counting the
number of days elapsed since 1900-01-01. For example, the date
'2008-12-31' is represented as 39813. You can verify this in Microsoft
Office Excel by entering that date in a cell and afterwards changing the
number format to 'General' so the true numeric value is revealed.
Likewise, '3:15 AM' is represented as 0.135417.

**Tip**
The above table of codes may seem overwhelming first time you are trying to
figure out how to write some header or footer. Luckily, there is an easier way.
Let Microsoft Office Excel do the work for you.For example, create in Microsoft
Office Excel an xlsx file where you insert the header and footer as desired
using the programs own interface. Save file as test.xlsx. Now, take that file
and read off the values using PhpSpreadsheet as follows:

Wrap lines to 80 We wrapped lines to make easier the source easier to read, and to have more manageable diffs. This was done with something like: ```sh pandoc --wrap=auto --atx-headers -f markdown -t markdown-fenced_code_attributes+pipe_tables+raw_html+intraword_underscores` ```
2016-12-03 15:00:54 +00:00
That reveals the codes for the even/odd header and footer. Experienced
users may find it easier to rename test.xlsx to test.zip, unzip it, and
inspect directly the contents of the relevant xl/worksheets/sheetX.xml
to find the codes for header/footer.
**Tip for picture**
```php
$drawing = new \PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\Worksheet\HeaderFooterDrawing();
$drawing->setName('PhpSpreadsheet logo');
$drawing->setPath('./images/PhpSpreadsheet_logo.png');

**Tip** It is recommended to style many cells at once, using e.g.
getStyle('A1:M500'), rather than styling the cells individually in a
loop. This is much faster compared to looping through cells and styling
them individually.

number format code unless you need a custom number format.

If writing Xlsx files you can specify the algorithm used to hash the password
before calling `setPassword()` like so:
```php
$protection = $spreadsheet->getActiveSheet()->getProtection();
$protection->setAlgorithm(Protection::ALGORITHM_SHA_512);
$protection->setSpinCount(20000);
$protection->setPassword('PhpSpreadsheet');
```
The salt should **not** be set manually and will be automatically generated
when setting a new password.

Spreadsheets that are protected the as described above can always be read by
PhpSpreadsheet. There is no need to know the password or do anything special in
order to read a protected file.
However if you need to implement a password verification mechanism, you can use the
following helper method:
```php
$protection = $spreadsheet->getActiveSheet()->getProtection();
$allowed = $protection->verify('my password');
if ($allowed) {
doSomething();
} else {
throw new Exception('Incorrect password');

It is important to remember that any string participating in an Excel
formula is allowed to be maximum 255 characters (not bytes). This sets a
limit on how many items you can have in the string "Item A,Item B,Item
C". Therefore it is normally a better idea to type the item values
directly in some cell range, say A1:A3, and instead use, say,

Column widths are difficult to deal with in Excel, and there are several

2. Full width in pixels (e.g. 64 pixels)

Make sure not to include any echo statements or output any other
contents than the Excel file. There should be no whitespace before the
opening `<?php` tag and at most one line break after the closing `?>`
tag (which can also be omitted to avoid problems). Make sure that your
script is saved without a BOM (Byte-order mark) because this counts as
echoing output. The same things apply to all included files. Failing to
follow the above guidelines may result in corrupt Excel files arriving
at the client browser, and/or that headers cannot be set by PHP
(resulting in warning messages).
