Reading an Excel file in PHP

Question

I m trying to read an Excel file  Office 2003   There is an Excel file that needs to be uploaded and its contents parsed   Via Google  I can only find answers to these related  and insufficient topics   generating Excel files  reading Excel XML files  reading Excel CSV files  or incomplete abandoned projects  I own Office 2003 so if I need any files from there  they are available  It s installed on my box but isn t and can t be installed on my shared host   Edit  so far all answers point to PHP-ExcelReader and or this additional article about how to use it

You have 2 choices as far as I know    Spreadsheet Excel Reader  which knows the Office 2003 binary format PHPExcel  which knows both Office 2003 as well as Excel 2007  XML    Follow the link  and you ll see they upgraded this library to PHPSpreadSheet    PHPExcel uses Spreadsheet Excel Reader for the Office 2003 format   Update  I once had to read some Excel files but I used the Office 2003 XML format in order to read them and told the people that were using the application to save and upload only that type of Excel file

It depends on how you want to use the data in the excel file  If you want to import it into mysql  you could simply save it as a CSV formatted file and then use fgetcsv to parse it
