    If you can save it as a csv, you can use fgetcsv to parse the file, and then write a script to loop through all of the records and use the email addresses.

    You could also import the excel file into a database and use it from there. phpmyadmin and Navicat and a few other GUI programs will do this.

    Lastly, there are scripts that will allow you to read an excel file with php. Search google for: php read excel. There are quite a few scrips, paid and free that will help do it.
