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.
