How to mail .xls using PHP

I have created an application form that outputs data into an e-mail as well as submitting a receipt to the user who fills out the application form. What I need is PHP to take the data that was input into the application form and write out the data into a spreadsheet (.xls) file format. Can anyone help me out? I understand my code needs to be cleaned up, needs secure injection functions and formatted, but I need it to work first and foremost. Here is the code:

[php]
if(isset($_POST[‘HomeEMail’]))
{
$to = ‘[email protected]’ ; //put your email address on which you want to receive the information
$subject = ‘WASD Application Data’; //set the subject of email.
$subject2 = ‘Your West Anglophone School District Application Receipt’;
$headers = ‘MIME-Version: 1.0’ . “\r\n”;
$headers .= ‘Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1’ . “\r\n”;
$message = “
