In ASP, there's a way to read from an excel document as if it was a database. It could read any Microsoft xls format. You would just name all the columns in row one of the document, and ASP would treat them as if they were DB fields.
The system will be upgraded to a database, so I'd like to only have to change the database connection code.
I know I can also use a simple, tab delimited document, but in PHP, I still have to do the background coding as if it were a text file.

Hi.
PHP does not provide any specific functions to read Excel files.
You can probably find classes that can handle them however. Try a Google search for Spreadsheet_Exc el_Reader. (See this thread for an idea how to use that)
If it is at all possible, I would recommend saving the XLS data as XML, which PHP can handle easily.

Hi,
We face problems uploading excel (with macros) documents using HTML
File Upload.
The file contents are corrupted while viewing the same. However, we
are able to upload excel (w/o. macros) documents successfully. Is
there anything we have to take care of, while handling uploads of
excel documents with macros?
Thanks in advance,

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
