Hello, I am currently using this PEAR package to generate .xls documents in PHP;

It would be very much appreciated if someone could add it to the repository, as it is always to prefer rpm packages over manually installed ones.

Though note exactly the same, php-pear-excel is availabe on RPMforge. See http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/php-pear-excel/ for more information.
