var_dump($data);

$xlSheet1->writeRow(0, $data);

Error with array_walk and success without

function(&$field)

don't use references and try to be smarter then the ZendEngine wich is based on copy-on-write - references easily have side-effects you don't realize for no nebefint in 99.999% of all usecases

it's still reproducible without links

<?php

$data = array (
	0 => 'test me hard'
);

function my_to_string($inp) {
	return (string)$inp;
}

$xlBook = new \ExcelBook(null, null, true);
$xlBook->setLocale('UTF-8');
$xlSheet1 = $xlBook->addSheet('Sheet1');

var_dump($data);
array_walk($data, 'my_to_string');
var_dump($data);

$xlSheet1->writeRow(0, $data);

This is a bug in the extension, which does not support references. Please file a bug there, it's missing a ZVAL_DEREF() in the array processing function.
