Get values from a EXCEL sheet by using PHP

Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

 

here is what I have:

 

  • an excel sheet (XLS, 4MB) with postal codes in the first column
  • more data in the other columns

 

here is what I need:

 

  • looking for the postal code in the excel sheet
  • get the information to this postal code from the other columns
  • work with the other information (use them as variables)

 

example:

 

PC | A | B | C

1234 | 2.3 | 3.5 | 1.1

2345 | 3.3 | 3.3 | 7.8

 

---> If I have the postal code 2345, I want to create the variables $a=3.3 ; $b=3.3 ; c=7.8 in PHP

 

 

here is what I heard about:

 

  • phpexcel.php
  • php_excelReader

here are my questions:

 

What would you recommend (phpexcel.php or php_excelReder or something else)?

 

Is there a tutorial on w3schools (I couldn´t find one)?

 

Can you provide some code?

 

 

Thanks for your help!
