XLSXReader

What it does

XLSXReader is a small PHP class for reading data from Microsoft Excel XLSX (OpenXML) files. There are some much more comprehensive Excel libraries for PHP, but I created this because I was looking for a library that made it as easy as possible to:, _(*1)

1. Open an Excel file
2. Get a list of the sheets (names and sheetIds)
3. Get the data out from a sheet into an array

XLSXReader requires the ZIP extension., _(*2)

Thanks to Sergey Schuchkin for his SimpleXLSX library that served as the inspiration for XLSXReader. While most of it has been rewritten, some of his code still remains., _(*3)

Usage

Open an Excel file:, _(*4)

require('XLSXReader.php');
$xlsx = new XLSXReader('sample.xlsx');

Get a list of the sheets:, _(*5)

$sheets = $xlsx->getSheetNames();

Get the data from a sheet:, _(*6)

$data = $xlsx->getSheetData('Sales');

What it doesn't do

There are many things XLSXReader does not aim to do:, _(*7)

1. Handle sheets with a large amount of data - XLSXReader uses SimpleXML to read the sheet data, so the entire XML file is read into memory when accessing a sheet.
2. Extract formatting, formulas, comments, headers, footers, properties, or charts
3. Create or edit Excel files

If you need those capabilities, I would take a look at PHP-Excel., _(*8)
