Examples

XLSX to html table

echo Shuchkin\SimpleXLSX::parse('book.xlsx')->toHTML();

if ( $xlsx = Shuchkin\SimpleXLSX::parse('book.xlsx') ) {
	echo '<table border="1" cellpadding="3" style="border-collapse: collapse">';
	foreach( $xlsx->rows() as $r ) {
		echo '<tr><td>'.implode('</td><td>', $r ).'</td></tr>';
	}
	echo '</table>';
} else {
	echo Shuchkin\SimpleXLSX::parseError();
}

XLSX read cells, out commas and bold headers

echo '<pre>';
if ( $xlsx = Shuchkin\SimpleXLSX::parse( 'xlsx/books.xlsx' ) ) {
	foreach ( $xlsx->rows() as $r => $row ) {
		foreach ( $row as $c => $cell ) {
			echo ($c > 0) ? ', ' : '';
			echo ( $r === 0 ) ? '<b>'.$cell.'</b>' : $cell;
		}
		echo '<br/>';
	}
} else {
	echo Shuchkin\SimpleXLSX::parseError();
}
echo '</pre>';

XLSX get sheet names and sheet indexes

if ( $xlsx = Shuchkin\SimpleXLSX::parse( 'xlsx/books.xlsx' ) ) {
	print_r( $xlsx->sheetNames() );
	print_r( $xlsx->sheetName( $xlsx->activeSheet ) );
}
// Sheet numeration started 0

Array
(
    [0] => Sheet1
    [1] => Sheet2
    [2] => Sheet3
)
Sheet2

Gets extend cell info by ->rowsEx()

print_r( Shuchkin\SimpleXLSX::parse('book.xlsx')->rowsEx() );

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [0] => Array
                (
                    [type] => s
                    [name] => A1
                    [value] => ISBN
                    [href] => 
                    [f] =>

                    [hidden] => 1
                )

Select Sheet

$xlsx = Shuchkin\SimpleXLSX::parse('book.xlsx');
print_r( $xlsx->rows(1) ); // Sheet numeration started 0, we select second worksheet

Get sheet by index

$xlsx = Shuchkin\SimpleXLSX::parse('book.xlsx');	
echo 'Sheet Name 2 = '.$xlsx->sheetName(1);

XLSX::parse remote data

if ( $xlsx = Shuchkin\SimpleXLSX::parse('https://www.example.com/example.xlsx' ) ) {
	$dim = $xlsx->dimension(1); // don't trust dimension extracted from xml
	$num_cols = $dim[0];
	$num_rows = $dim[1];
	echo $xlsx->sheetName(1).':'.$num_cols.'x'.$num_rows;
} else {
	echo Shuchkin\SimpleXLSX::parseError();
}

XLSX::parse memory data

// For instance $data is a data from database or cache    
if ( $xlsx = Shuchkin\SimpleXLSX::parseData( $data ) ) {
	print_r( $xlsx->rows() );
} else {
	echo Shuchkin\SimpleXLSX::parseError();
}

Get Cell (slow)

echo $xlsx->getCell(0, 'B2'); // The Hobbit

DateTime helpers

// default SimpleXLSX datetime format is YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS (ISO, MySQL)
echo $xlsx->getCell(0,'C2'); // 2016-04-12 13:41:00

// custom datetime format
$xlsx->setDateTimeFormat('d.m.Y H:i');
echo $xlsx->getCell(0,'C2'); // 12.04.2016 13:41

// unixstamp
$xlsx->setDateTimeFormat('U');
$ts = $xlsx->getCell(0,'C2'); // 1460468460
echo gmdate('Y-m-d', $ts); // 2016-04-12
echo gmdate('H:i:s', $ts); // 13:41:00

// raw excel value
$xlsx->setDateTimeFormat( NULL ); // returns as excel datetime
$xd = $xlsx->getCell(0,'C2'); // 42472.570138889
echo gmdate('m/d/Y', $xlsx->unixstamp( $xd )); // 04/12/2016
echo gmdate('H:i:s', $xlsx->unixstamp( $xd )); // 13:41:00

Rows with header values as keys

if ( $xlsx = Shuchkin\SimpleXLSX::parse('books.xlsx')) {
	// Produce array keys from the array values of 1st array element
	$header_values = $rows = [];
	foreach ( $xlsx->rows() as $k => $r ) {
		if ( $k === 0 ) {
			$header_values = $r;
			continue;
		}
		$rows[] = array_combine( $header_values, $r );
	}
	print_r( $rows );
}

    [0] => Array
        (

ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL );
ini_set('display_errors', 1 );

if ( $xlsx = Shuchkin\SimpleXLSX::parseFile('books.xlsx', true ) ) {
	echo $xlsx->toHTML();
} else {
	echo Shuchkin\SimpleXLSX::parseError();
}

Classic OOP style

use Shuchkin\SimpleXLSX;

$xlsx = new SimpleXLSX('books.xlsx'); // try...catch
if ( $xlsx->success() ) {
	print_r( $xlsx->rows() );
} else {
