You need to do this with a csv file.

    //Upload File
51  if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
52      if (is_uploaded_file($_FILES['filename']['tmp_name'])) {
53          echo "<h1>" . "File ". $_FILES['filename']['name'] ." uploaded successfully." . "</h1>";
54          echo "<h2>Displaying contents:</h2>";
55          readfile($_FILES['filename']['tmp_name']);
56      }
57   
58      //Import uploaded file to Database
59      $handle = fopen($_FILES['filename']['tmp_name'], "r");
60   
61      while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE) {
62          $import="INSERT into tablename(item1,item2,item3,item4,item5) values('$data[0]','$data[1]','$data[2]','$data[3]','$data[4]')";
63   
64          mysql_query($import) or die(mysql_error());
65      }
66   
67      fclose($handle);
68   
69      print "Import done";
70   
71      //view upload form
72  }

Hi...thanks a lot for your fast reply...sorry for not being specific...actually i just want to upload the excel file to server and whenever i want to edit the file, i just open the page and click on the file to edit it...currently there is no need to import uploaded file to database...please advise,thanks.
