What is suitable for creating Excel spreadsheets?

Question

PHP

Hello! I have an extremely small and lightweight PHP project, but don't know what to use to create tables. Somewhere without composer'a in any way, somewhere you need PEAR. Because I am not a backend developer, so I don’t really know any tools, but I need something simple that can be thrown into the project, connected and started using the built-in methods. Please advise.

If you need to export to a format that will open excel, while getting the fastest code - export to csv
https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fputcsv.php
If you need to export to xslx, then from the supported solutions, you can look at this

From solutions that are popular but have not been updated for a long time and, in fact, have already been deprecated
