[FX.php List] creating an export file

[Dale Bengston]

Hi Jonathan.,

It's gotten better, but spreadsheet_excel_writer used to have its  
paths wrong within its own folder structure. Also, if you manually  
installed PEAR, it may not be where spreadsheet_excel_writer is  
looking for it.

Do you have error reporting turned on for your page? Often, that will  
flush out problems.
