Actually, I need to upload an excel file on clicking submit button, after which
specific data fields from the uploaded file have to be retrieved and these data have to be saved in a database. Could anyone help me with this query as I don't get any hunch of how to do this.
PHP experts, please reply !

You just have to parse the excel file or have it converted to a csv. Once the file is uploaded onto your server you can just open and read it - and do what you like. The only hard bit is working out the format/encoding of an excel file.
