How to read EXCEL with PHP Part 2

This method borrows a PHP class from the Internet. The specific source is so old that I have forgotten it. The phpExcel.php file is as follows:

Now call it and output an Excel file, test.php:

<?php require_once 'phpExcel.php';
$data = new Spreadsheet_Excel_Reader();
$data->setOutputEncoding('CP936');
$data->read('three.xls');
error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);
echo "

"; for ($i = 1; $i sheets[0]['numRows']; $i++) { echo ""; for ($j = 1; $j sheets[0]['numCols']; $j++) { echo ""; } echo ""; } echo "

".$data->sheets[0]['cells'][$i][$j]."

"; ?>

The above introduces the method of reading EXCEL with PHP, including the following aspects. I hope it will be helpful to friends who are interested in PHP tutorials.
