[FIXED] How to use PHPExcel correctly with Symfony 2

Issue

I need to use PHPExcel with a Symfony2 project. Anyone know how to set up the project correctly to use the library? Should i put it in the vendor directory? What should be changed in the configuration files etc?

Solution

If you are using composer to manage your project, you can just change the composer.json file:

"autoload": {
    "psr-4": {
        "": "src/",
        "": "vendor/phpoffice/phpexcel/Classes/"
    },
    "classmap": [
        "app/AppKernel.php",
        "app/AppCache.php"
    ]
},

Then add

use PHPExcel;
use PHPExcel_IOFactory;

to your controller file, and you can use the PHPExcel like this:

$objPHPExcel = new PHPExcel();

Hope it helps.
