Step 5: Run PHP code that reads XLSB file
Execute the following PHP code that imports an XLSB file.
<?php/*=============================================================================
| Tutorial 38
|
| This tutorial shows how to read an Excel XLSB file in PHP (the
| XLSB file generated by Tutorial 29 as base template), modify
| some data and save it to another XLSB file (Tutorial38 - read XLSB file.xlsb).
*=============================================================================*/header("Content-Type: text/html");
echo"Tutorial 38<br>";
echo"----------<br>";
// Create an instance of the class that reads Excel files
$workbook = new COM("EasyXLS.ExcelDocument");
// Read XLSB fileecho"Reading file: C:\\Samples\\Tutorial29.xlsb<br>";
if ($workbook->easy_LoadXLSBFile("C:\\Samples\\Tutorial29.xlsb"))
{
// Get the table of data for the second worksheet
$xlsSecondTable = $workbook->easy_getSheet("Second tab")->easy_getExcelTable();
// Write some data to the second sheet
$xlsSecondTable->easy_getCell_2("A1")->setValue("Data added by Tutorial38");
for ($column=0; $column<5; $column++)
{
$xlsSecondTable->easy_getCell(1, $column)->setValue("Data " . ($column + 1));
}
// Export the new XLSB fileecho"Writing file: C:\Samples\Tutorial38 - read XLSB file.xlsb<br>";
$workbook->easy_WriteXLSBFile("C:\Samples\Tutorial38 - read XLSB file.xlsb");
// Confirm export of Excel fileif ($workbook->easy_getError() == "")
echo"File successfully created.";
elseecho"Error encountered: " . $workbook->easy_getError();
}
else
{
echo"Error reading file C:\Samples\Tutorial29.xlsb";
echo $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.
