Requires light excel library (xls / xlsx) php

Question

Possible duplicate:
Alternative for PHP_excel

A friend would like to use the Php Excel library to read / write xls and xlsx files, he knows what is called "PhpExcel", but apparently the library is too big for him.

I would like you to suggest if there is any other phplib you could recommend to it.

Answer 2

You will not find a lightweight library that can read and write xls and xlsx files other than PHPExcel. However, if you need a list of available options for working with Excel files in PHP, you can find it here .

Answer 3

OpenTBS can generate XLSX files using template technology.

It can also read any sub XML file in XLSX.

OpenTBS can do the same with any Ms Office documents (docx, xlsx, pptx) and OpenOffice.
