Excel parser

Post by phice »

Has anyone come across a free Excel->HTML PHP program? In example: Upload your .xls file, and the program will produce an HTML document.

Example:

Have you checked at phpclasses.org?

There is one class "ExcelRead_FR - This class reads an Excel spreadsheet file using COM objects".

Shouldn't be too hard to add the HTMl-output you need.

"feuil" = "film"

Check out http://www.systransoft.com/ for quick and dirty translation between a bunch of different languages. They still need to iron out some bugs, but still the best free on the internet translation tool I've seen yet.

Take an excel document, temporarily upload it to the webserver, have the PHP program parse the excel document (ie: excel=>html), and produce the contents to the screen.
