Google Docs spreadsheets

Post by pavanpuligandla »

Hii,

can we create replica of google docs spreadsheets using php?(with minimal features)
i mean can we open an excel sheet which can be editable in a web browser?
i think we have only packages like reading an excel and writing to excel in PHP.
we can read an excel file using PHP's PEAR module but that is not editable, that only reads and prints the excel cells.

can we create any new excel spreadsheets in a web browser?
any ideas?? i've been searching for this for 3 months. :banghead:
waht happened to the code gurus and experts in this forum, no body r replying..this is 2 bad.
My application is like entering records in an excel which is read by PHP then uploaded to database.but i cannot edit the PHP read excel file.
i want to open a new excel sheet in a web browser which we can save, edit and upload to DB.

can anyone please help me??

try to find a javascript spreadsheet. Then all you need to do is save the data to the database.

I never used this, but it might be a start
