SYLK Error

Ok, I found the answer to my annoying problem.

I generated an Excel file using PHP and populated the cells with data from Mysql. The first few times worked fine, and then I started to make the Excel file ‘pretty.’ I added headers to the top, and the first field was called ‘ID’ for the id number.

Then I started getting this strange “SYLK: File format is not valid” error.

I found this which explained that if a CSV file starts with an upper case “I” or “D,” this error will occur. So I changed my header to ‘id’ and that fixed the problem!
