        print(trim($schema_insert));
        print "\n";
    }   
?>

attached are the two images..1st is the the output of this code..and the 2nd file is my desired output which is already formatted.. like 1) the name of the field is change, bold..2) column should be automatically adjusted to fit the entry 3)..additional entry like PREPARED: NAME

thanks a lot..

You are outputting a CSV file. You can only do formatting if you create an actual Excel file. You can do this for example with PHPExcel.

Hi

Use PEAR Spreadsheet Excel library. it is really cool. You can set the colour and width of the columns, add formulas etc.

It is easy to use and very versitle
