working with excel files in php [closed]

Question

What is the best php library to use to with php to read/write and display components of excel files on web based pages?

Answer 1

I would use PHPExcel for writing the files (in fact, I do use it)

http://phpexcel.codeplex.com/

And you could try

http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpexcelreader/

for reading but I have no experience with reading Excel files in PHP, only writing them.

Answer 2

For my mind it is the best library: Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer
