Code Forums - View Single Post - dynamically generated excel files with php and mysql

Here's one . . . I have a client who has stumped me. Got a site built on PHP4/MySQL. The client wants a logged-in user to click on a button which will open an excel spreadsheet (all their clients have excel) that contains some information culled from the database . . . say 15-16 items of information, and allow them to edit it, click a button, and save it back to the database/file/whatever.

I don't even know where to start or if such a thing is possible. Any ideas?
