If you want to read an excel file with PHP you can use script below.
I want to explain how to use it. at first, copy codes below and paste in PHP file.
you just need to include reader.PHP file into your code :
require_once 'reader.PHP';
dont forget that reader.PHP file requires oleread.inc file.
after that you need to describe class and then read the file:
$data = new Spreadsheet_Excel_Reader();
$data->setOutputEncoding('CP1251');
$data->read('myExcelFile.xls');
thats it. After that you can start to read your excel file:
$data->sheets[1]['cells'][2][3];
by this way you can read any cell from excel file. what you need to determine which sheet, which row and which column.
$data->sheets[SHEET]['cells'][ROW][COLUMN];
you need to put 0 for first sheet, 1 for second sheet. 1 for first row of sheet and 1 for first column of row.
thats it
