not because of the xl specific coding of the document.
the easiest way would be to have the spreadsheet saved either in Text (Tab
Delimited) or CSV format, and then write your php to interpret that.

hope this helps

Try www.badblue.com. Claim to be able to read,edit and share excel
using PHP. Also access Word content. Sounds nifty.
