You have to post the html markup of the table you have on the page or create the same markup on the server side and then use the below code to export it into excel format.

<?php
$file="test.xls";
$test="TheTableMarkupWillGoHere";
header("Content-type: application/vnd.ms-excel");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$file");
echo $test;
?>
