Working with excel files in php

Question

What is the best php library to use with php to read / write and display excel file components on web pages?

Answer 1

I would use PHPExcel to write files (in fact, I use it)

http://phpexcel.codeplex.com/

And you can try

http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpexcelreader/

for reading, but I have no experience reading Excel files in PHP, but only for writing them.

Answer 2

In my opinion this is the best library: Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer
