PHPExcelReader comes with two files oleread.inc and reader.php. We will need to include reader.php in order to use the package. For the sake of “simplicity”, I have made some changes in example file and data. Grab it here:

Dowload PHPExcelReader.zip

Sample Excel Spreadsheet

Take a look at example.php, code is pretty much straight forward. As I said before, in order to use the package we need to include reader.php into our code.
require_once('excel/reader.php');
Next, create a new object from the class Spreadsheet_Excel_Reader and give the excel file which you like to read.

$xls = new Spreadsheet_Excel_Reader();
$xls->read('indiastamps_yearsets.xls');

All the rows and columns can be accessed through array variable sheets. We use two for loops to access each and every element of the sheet0.
$xls->sheets[0]['cells'][$row][$column]

Result

If you are Microsoft Excel 2007 user, be sure about saving file in 1997-2003 .xls format else it will not work. Thanks for reading.

If it shows that user is online, but in your messenger list it is still offline, that means user has set to appear invisible to you through stealth settings. Currently, I am working on it, to add more features to it. Hope you guys find it useful.
