Is it possible to use an Excel sheet as a Database

[Luuk Krijnen]

Hello Everyone,

I'm a starting web programmer. I'm making a website for an Irish Pub.
Because of the many different activities in the pub I'm searching for
a possibility to give away some tasks to other people who don't know
anything about webprogramming. For results of tournament etc. I wanna
make an excel sheet to fill in the results by poeple who don't know
webprogramming. Is it possible to import data from an excelsheet into
a php file. In this way I can make my own template with the imported
data from the excel sheet.

Why not make a form on the website they fill out, this way the data goes
right into your site, instead of them typing into excell (in the format you
have to tell them, [over and over] ) and then you having to import this into
the site.

You can save the sheet as .csv, and then read .csv from php to do something
with the values. It's a nice manner to export data from excel to php

It's possible and is an easy way saving the sheet as .csv and then read .csv
from php to do something with result data.
