Im getting an error which says, “Warning (2): require_once(Console/Getopt.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory [CORE/vendors/Pear/System.php, line 21]“ My solution was to comment out line 21 in System.php. I did the "modify the core files" nono, but don't know what other solution to take... per francis’s problem: Hi, Im trying to make this work..

I modified one step, but I called that out in the post, and highlighted it. When I get a spreadsheet full of special characters, that usually means that there was an error somewhere in the code that I needed to go back and correct. All the steps I did are listed out here.

Microsoft Excel usually tries to do what it thinks is best, which is most of the time wrong. So make sure the encoding is correct. Also, if there is an error in the logic before it outputs, like calling a variable that is not there, it could send out an error, and send special characters.
