Hi,
Have you considered saving the Excel data as a CSV file, then reading the content of the file into PHP using file_get_content. You should then be able to explode the data by the comma symbol or something I am sure.

What do you think?

R.

Yep. If its a csv file, then you can make use of fgetcsv to do the required operation.
