You can use the PHPExcel Composer package. Just add "phpoffice/phpexcel": "dev-master" to your composer.json and enter composer update. This way the library will be "installed" and you can use it as normal (for example $objPHPExcel = new PHPExcel();) No need for manual includes etc.

Update may 2016

Instead of editing your composer.json, please use the 'official' command:

composer require phpoffice/phpexcel

Below are the step to use PHPEXCEL Library with laravel 5

1:- Install "phpoffice" Package in Laravel 5. Below is the link for the packages

2:- Add "phpexcel/phpexcel": "dev-master" to your composer.json. Ex:- "require": { "phpexcel/phpexcel": "dev-master" }

3:- Then execute "composer update".

4:- Open the file "/vendor/composer/autoload_namespaces.php". Paste the below line in the file.

// Include PHPEXCEL Library with Laravel 5
'PHPExcel' => array($vendorDir . '/phpoffice/phpexcel/Classes'),

5:- Now you can use PHPEXCEL library in your controllers or middleware or library. use PHPExcel; use PHPExcel_IOFactory;
