Hi, Is it possible to parss a "excel" spreadsheet using PHP? Currently, I am saving the excel file as a "tab delimited text file", and then uploading the text file. Then using php rebuilding the table structure. Will it be possible to directly parss the excel file itself? Secondly, while uploading, I am not using FTP, but a "browser" based PHP uploader. What extension should I add in order to allow uploading of excel file? Thankyou for any help in this matter. Bye jeet
This binary can index xls files: http://www.45.free.net/~vitus/software/catdoc/ As far as uploading goes, you should be able to upload the files the same as you would a text file
Thanks, that looks promising, but also sounds very tough to use. I downloaded the binary, will try to install, but I am not sure if I can do that. Anything else that might help? Thanks jeet
Hi, I found these 3 packages: http://pear.php.net/search.php?q=excel&in=packages Which of these would be suited for reading from the spreadsheet file? Thanks jeet
