Is there a way to convert xls to text using php on a linux machine?

Any ideas?

Not easily and definitely not in a 100% "will work every time" way, the format is just too varied. You could pass the file off to something like OpenOffice and have it convert it perhaps - or if its a simple XLS file the Pear libraries will help.
