How have I never seen this before today?
I’ve only been working with it for a few hours but it’s amazing. It can read and write from many different formats.
Output your spreadsheet object to different file formats
- Excel 2007 (spreadsheetML)
- BIFF8 (Excel 97 and higher)
- PHPExcel Serialized Spreadsheet
- CSV (Comma Separated Values)
- HTML
Read different file formats into your spreadsheet object
- Excel 2007 (spreadsheetML)
- BIFF5 (Excel 5.0 / Excel 95), BIFF8 (Excel 97 and higher)
- PHPExcel Serialized Spreadsheet
- CSV (Comma Separated Values)
I am very excited about this. Another honorable mention is php-excel-reader which might be worth a look if you just want something a bit more simple.
Thanks for the heads up on this, I was looking for something like this as well. I used to have another commercial script that did this but it doesn’t read the new native Excel spreadsheets for some reason.
