<a href="#faq6_23">6.23 Export: I heard phpMyAdmin can export Microsoft
Excel files, how can I enable that?</a></h4>
<p> Current version does support direct export to Microsoft Excel and Word
versions 2000 and newer. If you need export older versions, you can use
<abbr title="comma separated values">CSV</abbr> suitable for Microsoft Excel,
which works out of the box or you can
try native <b>experimental</b> MS Excel exporter. <b>This export has
several problems, most important are limitation of cell content to 255
chars and no support for charsets, so think carefully whether you want to
enable this.</b>. For enabling this you need to set
<a href="#cfg_TempDir" class="configrule">$cfg['TempDir']</a> to
place where web server user can write (for example <tt>'./tmp'</tt>) and
install <abbr title="PHP Extension and Application Repository">PEAR</abbr>
module Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer into php include path. The
installation can be done by following command:</p>
<pre>
pear -d preferred_state=beta install -a Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer
</pre>
<p> First part of switches set we want to install beta version of that module
(no stable version available yet) and then we tell pear we want to satisfy
dependencies.</p>
<p> If you are running in PHP safe mode, you will have to set
in <tt>php.ini</tt> the <tt>safe_mode_include_dir</tt> to the directory
where your <abbr title="PHP Extension and Application Repository">PEAR</abbr>
modules are located, for example:</p>
<pre>
safe_mode_include_dir = /usr/local/lib/php
</pre>
<p> You can use
<abbr title="comma separated values">CSV</abbr> for Microsoft Excel,
which works out of the box, but phpMyAdmin supports direct export
to Microsoft Excel version 97 and newer. For this to work, you need to set
<a href="#cfg_TempDir" class="configrule">$cfg['TempDir']</a> to a
place where the web server user can write (for example <tt>'./tmp'</tt>).</p>
<p> To create the temporary directory on a UNIX-based system, you can do:</p>
