As I seen you are asking in the comments to other answers, This wont work when you send this as email to someone because, the file is generated/stored in your localhost. Localhost is your machine. Others wont have access to your localhost.

To have this available for everyone, you need to get a hosting and host the script there.

Use a download attribute to the anchor tag. Rewrite as <a href="'.$xlsfile.'" download><strong>here</strong></a>. Also correct your addresses to file.
