Anyone have experience with parsing .xls files in PHP? Don't want COM 
objects - and we just need the data, by worksheet->row->column and not 
the formatting. It would need to parse and execute any formulas found 
in a cell. We've found the following products and are leaning towards 
the first but if there are better options or gotchas would love to 
know:

thanks
