and how to turn off : //function OLERead(){ }?

[DanceSC]

Awesome! This worked!

Just to clarify for anyone who is confused, inside class OLERead (line 96 for me) there is a line that says function OLERead() { } (line 98) just comment that out.

Then on line 918 comment out the entire function Spreadsheet_Excel_Reader and add the new construct that fahizalcode posted above.

Also if you are getting this deprecation warning, it is likely you will also get a notification about split(); just replace split( with explode( (lines 80, 847) and you should be good

Just to clarify for anyone who is confused, inside class OLERead (line 96 for me) there is a line that says function OLERead() { } (line 97) just comment that out. //function OLERead(){ }
Then on line 915 comment out the entire function Spreadsheet_Excel_Reader and add the new construct
comment below code--
/*function Spreadsheet_Excel_Reader($file='',$store_extended_info=true,$outputEncoding='') {
$this->_ole = new OLERead();
$this->setUTFEncoder('iconv');
if ($outputEncoding != '') {
$this->setOutputEncoding($outputEncoding);

$this->colnames[$name] = $i;
$this->colindexes[$i] = $name;
}
$this->store_extended_info = $store_extended_info;
if ($file!="") {
$this->read($file);
}
} */
add paste this code after above commented code
public function __construct($file='',$store_extended_info=true,$outputEncoding='') {
$this->_ole = new OLERead();
$this->setUTFEncoder('iconv');
if ($outputEncoding != '') {
