Import Excel file into MySQL database

Hi everybody in the php community,

I am relatively new in this field, and one of my first challenge is the following :

Importing an Excel file, containings URL, into a MySQL database.

It must be the simplest process possible for the end user, avoiding as far as
possible all steps of converting and/or transforming files.
Of course, we want to preserve the identity of the URL.

Is there anybody who can help me or give me tricks to do this function ?

Tks in advance for all your suggestions and best regards

You might be interested in having a look at the conversion classes at
phpclasses.org:

http://phpclasses.php-start.de/browse/class/35.html

There is a MS file converter class; I have never tried it out yet.

I thank you all of you to have taken the time to give me some
