    Alternative for PHP_excel

    A friend would like to use a Php Excel library to read/write files on formats xls and xlsx, he knows about the one called "PhpExcel" but apparently is way too big of a library for him.

    I would like you to suggest if there is any other phplib you could recommend him.

    Update

    Please people vote this question up if you think this post is useful even when some have considered it not good enough to give it negative points (very strange since it has a lot of views and seems it has actually helped to some users). Thank you very much.

    He ended up using Mark's library. Heavy in size but highly efficient.
