Re: PHP and Excel

I might be wrong, but if your client are using all the functions available in Excel Im pretty sure you wont get this to work. Ive tested a few of the Excel converters for PHP and they all work nice with simple Excel spreadsheets, but once you start doing it Excel style... Your on your own... If youre on a Win32 platform you might solve this nicely, since this gives you alot of possibilities with exec and such. But I wouldt spend to much time on this if the system is to run on a *nix system. I hope someone proove me wrong here, but theese are my findings. Possible there are some nasty good proprietary Excel systems out there?
