PHP5 / PEAR - Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer

[kmm12]

I am trying to add functionality of excel file generating from the level of the PHP application. I decided to use PEAR. It looks that everything is installed and configured correctly, all components work together, all paths are set fine, can use excel class from the level of PHP scripts, there are no errorr messages.

The problem is that the excel is not opening. instead of it some kind of text output is displayed in browser window.

The standard code used to generate this file is mentioned below:

include_once 'Spreadsheet/Excel/Writer.php';
$workbook = new Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer();

$workbook->send('test.xls');

$worksheet =& $workbook->addWorksheet('Sheet1');

$worksheet->write(0, 0, 'Name');
$worksheet->write(0, 1, 'Age');
$worksheet->write(1, 0, 'John Smith);
$worksheet->write(1, 1, '30');

$workbook->close();

Did anyone met with problem like this?
