automate updating mysql table from excel file

170 100+
I am using php5 with mysql and also using excel 2003 running on winxp.

Anyway, I am currently opening my excel.xls file, then saving as csv file, then closing, then copying it over to the web directory, then going to my admin page and clicking "update", which will then update the mysql table with the latest csv data.

I admit its really not that much of a problem doing it like this, but I would like to automate this with a single click. Is it possible? What would be the best way to pursue this?

Thankyou.
