[thelist] Reading Values from Excel into PHP

[Vivek Chand Advani]

Sorry for being so unspecific,
I am running on a windows OS and with Apache, php and mysql.

However I was thinking, if the best way was as you mentioned, create a txt
file or csv file, and then get php to put into the sql database, however
this is easier said than done...

Hi I am  quite a beginner to php and programming in general,

However I have been asked to create an application which will read 

Excel files into PHP, and merge them to a database,

I was wondering if anyone has come up with something similar or any
guidance, pronto

Start with http://www.php.net/com if you're running PHP on a Windows
platform. If not, you can do something like this; save the Excel
spreadsheet as tab-delimited text or csv file then have PHP parse it and
insert it into the database.
