    Hi

    I have been searching for a script which will basically work like an excel file, but online...

    I need a flexible document for staff members to read and amend, without having to email 100 copies of the excel file a week :(

    Basically something in php, which can be edited by anyone, and works like excel?

    Anyone have an idea? or does no such thing exist?

    Thanks :)

    I think that the best thing would be to use google spread sheets. i am an excel addict and I m sure there is a way to make that work using PHP and javascript, but I ve never seen anything like that online.

    thanks rhoula, i havent seen anything like it either!

    Basically the client sends staff the work diary and "to-do" list via email, and its updated a few times through out the day, so each staff member gets it a few times a day (not all based in the same office)

    So the client was looking for an online way to edit and display the excel document, without the staff having to download..

    My other solution was use edit in place tables for the to do list and a calender script for the diary...

    The ideal solution would be something more excel like

    I think google spread sheet would work just fine.

    You can save the excel file as CSV (looks same as excel), and use a small php script to show it in browser. That php script can also upload new updated CSV file from client PC.
    Not difficult. Let me know if you need it done.
    regards :)
