Step 5: Run PHP code that imports Excel sheet data to DataSet
Execute the following PHP code that imports Excel sheet to DataSet.
<?php/*=====================================================================
| Tutorial 35
|
| This tutorial shows how to import Excel sheet to List in PHP.
| The data is imported from a specific Excel sheet (For this example
| we use the Excel file generated in Tutorial 09).
*=====================================================================*/header("Content-Type: text/html");
echo"Tutorial 35<br>";
echo"----------<br>";
// Create an instance of the class that imports Excel files
$workbook = new COM("EasyXLS.ExcelDocument");
// Import Excel sheet to Listecho"Reading file: C:\\Samples\\Tutorial09.xlsx<br><br>";
$rows = $workbook->easy_ReadXLSXSheet_AsList_3("C:\\Samples\\Tutorial09.xlsx", "First Tab");
// Confirm import of Excel fileif ($workbook->easy_getError() == "")
{
// Display imported List valuesfor ($rowIndex=0; $rowIndex<$rows->size(); $rowIndex++)
{
$row = $rows->elementAt($rowIndex);
for ($cellIndex=0; $cellIndex<$row->size(); $cellIndex++)
{
echo"At row ".($rowIndex + 1).", column ".($cellIndex + 1).
" the value is '".$row->elementAt($cellIndex)."'<br>";
}
}
}
elseecho"Error reading file C:\Samples\Tutorial09.xls" . $workbook->easy_getError();
// Dispose memory
$workbook->Dispose();
$workbook = null;
?>
Overloaded methods For methods with same name but different parameters, only the first method overload retains the original name. Subsequent overloads are uniquely renamed by appending to the method name '_2', '_3', etc (method, method_2, method_3), an integer that corresponds to the order of declaration that can be found in EasyXLS.h, a file that comes with EasyXLS installation.
