How to read and get data from Excel Files and Access Files. Can you post me articles and tutorials on the web-sites that explain the basic concept to create an interface for PHP and this files-type. Thanks so much to all.
MS doesn't really support what it is you want to do. As already suggested you can export the CSV files and that works great... but I haven't had much luck trying to use the COM interfaces with Excel / Access. The main problem is: if there is any step in your process that requires interactive user input then you can't really use COM with PHP. I would love to be proved wrong here; it would make my life easier. :)
