Hey there... Are you using a windows server? If so, I can provide you with code examples as to how to select fields and write new excel docs using the COM stuff built into windows.
For linux, things get a little bit more complicated -- really, you just need some sort of external app to do the conversion. Something like this might help: http://chicago.sourceforge.net/xlhtml/ -- jon -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Kwiczola [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 22, 2003 11:47 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: [PHP] reading excell and writing to text file.. I was wondering a good place I could get started on reading excel spreadsheets in PHP ive seen a couple of things out there that will take data from the web and transform it into a .xls file. I was wondering if I could take a XLS file with php and read it, and rip out certain data from it :-) but just knowing how to read it to the screen would be enough to get me going. Thanks!
