Not that tough to meet your stated requirement, if you're willing to take
an extra step and save a delimited file...

Export/save spreadsheet as a tab-delimited file and use PHP similar to:

# (Untested, but I'm confident...)
$xl = file("delimited.txt");
foreach($xl as $row) { $data[] = explode("\t",$row); }
echo $data[$row][$col];

Now, if you want to read an .xls file, that's not going to be so easy.
