    Hello,

    I founda script with this code:
    $xlApp = new COM("Excel.Application");

    On my local its run OK but on my share host server (live server) I got this error:
    "Fatal error: Class 'COM' not found in /home/public_html/importFile.php on line 6"

    (The script should take XLS file and impot the data to DB.)

    Why is that and how can I fix it?

    Thanks you all in advanced.

    This executes an application on computer php is running from. It's probably not going to be possible to use this on a web server for an excel application. Here's a good Excel library for php: http://phpexcel.codeplex.com/
