import an excel file(xls,xlsx) to mysql via php

[djasy]

good evening people,i'm creating an application where i'd like to import and save a list of people in an excel sheet to my database in mysql, using php, And i'd like to modify it through a form using php!
Can anyone have an idea or something which will help me to solve my problem?
thank you!

I use this for importing. With respect to modifying it in PHP, that's just some standard code that you'll have to write. If the modifications are on a record-by-record basis, then you just populate the form with values from the DB and save the result. If you want to display multiple records in a spreadsheet-like grid, then you should look into JQuery code that can do that.

thanks, but this one uses only xls, is there another one which uses xlsx(2010)?

hello, i found out a way to import, using the PHPExcel classes, and i think it may be helpful for other who would like to use it and to modify it in order to make it perfect , here is the code!

    // here is the function which will help us to call the PHPExcel classe in our pages, you can put it in a file apart.
        $chemin = '/opt/lampp/htdocs/www/Classes/';
        set_include_path(get_include_path() . PATH_SEPARATOR . $chemin);//we specify the path" using linux"

        function __autoload($classe)
        {
            $fichier = str_replace
            (
                '_', 
                DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR,
                $classe
            ) . '.php' ;
            require_once($fichier);
        }   

        $fichierACharger = 'listeglsi.xlsx';//the worksheets to use

                $fichierType = PHPExcel_IOFactory::identify($fichierACharger);

                $objetALire = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createReader($fichierType);
                $objetALire->setReadDataOnly(true);

                $objPHPExcel = $objetALire->load($fichierACharger);
                //echo '<script>alert("le fichier a été chargé avec succes !");</script>';
                $feuille = $objPHPExcel->getSheet(0);//we specify the sheet to use

                $highestRow = $feuille->getHighestRow();//we select all the rows used in the sheet 

                $highestCol = $feuille->getHighestColumn();// we select all the columns used in the sheet

                $indexCol = PHPExcel_Cell::columnIndexFromString($highestCol);we set an index on the columns
                //we show the data through a table
                echo'<table>'."\n";
                for($row = 9;$row <= $highestRow;$row++)
                {
                    echo'<tr>'."\n";
                    for($col = 1;$col <= $indexCol ;$col++)
                    {
                        $classeur = $feuille->getCellByColumnAndRow($col,$row)->getValue();
                        echo'<td>'.$classeur.'</td>'."\n";
                    }
                    echo'</tr>'."\n";
                }
                echo'</table>'."\n";

                //connection to the database
                include("cnx_import_excel.php.inc");

                //importing files to the database
                for($row = 9;$row <= $highestRow;$row++)
                {
                    $mat = $feuille->getCellByColumnAndRow(1,$row)->getValue();
                    $noms = $feuille->getCellByColumnAndRow(2,$row)->getValue();
                    $postPren = $feuille->getCellByColumnAndRow(3,$row)->getValue();
                    $sexe = $feuille->getCellByColumnAndRow(4,$row)->getValue();
                    //example of my data base
                    $rqt = "INSERT INTO T_ETUDIANTS (E_ID,E_NOMS,E_PREPOST,E_SEXE)VALUES('$mat','$noms','$postPren','$sexe')";
                    $accuse = mysql_query($rqt)or die (mysql_error());
                }
                //connection closing
                mysql_close();
