Loading an Excel spreadsheet in the background from PHP

I have a complex spreadsheet. I want to create an online system using PHP which uses this spreadsheet in the background to perform calculations.
Is the following sequence of events possible?
Step 1: PHP accepts user input
Step 2: PHP loads the existing Excel spreadsheet transferring the input data to the spreadsheet
Step 3: The spreadsheet performs its calculations then tranfers the results back to PHP
Step 4: PHP displays outputs based on the data sent from the spreadsheet.
Throughout the process the spreadsheet is not displayed but performs its tasks in the background.

It's possible. But why not port the functions you need into PHP?

The spreadsheet uses the solver addin function and I am not how to this in PHP.
