Creating Tab-Delimited Files in PHP

Here is how to work with Excel files and PHP.

First you will need to understand what tab-delimited means. Whenever you save a file in Excel, it is saved in binary form and can't be opened by other programs like if it was a text file. Creating the binary file for excel in PHP is very complicated, if even possible. Here is where tab-delimited comes in. Tab-delimited excel files are actually text files with an .xls file name. In this type of file is set up this way.

For example a simple table with name, email, age, and location of a person.
Code:

Name Email Age Location
Chris csuppa@gmail.com 23 Miami
John john@mail.com 17 Washington D.C
Kim butterfly456@aol.com 22 Texas
