Pretty cool, man... I actually didn't know about xls2csv. Learn something new every day -- this'll certainly come in handy.
'Course, it's not exactly standard with most distributions. For anyone looking for it, you can download it here: http://www.45.free.net/~vitus/ice/catdoc/ Or, depending on your distro, you might be able to find an RPM: http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=catdoc ... sounds like this might make for a good web service of some kind... I'll have to see if I can whip something up. -- jon -----Original Message----- From: daniel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 01, 2003 1:26 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; daniel Subject: RE: [PHP] excel 2 csv 2 mysql ok i've built a class to acomplish this now class Export_Excel { var $command function Export_Excel() { $this->command = "/www_tools/apache/catdoc/bin/xls2csv"; } function xls2csv($path,$xls_file,$short_name) { $cmd = escapeshellcmd("$this->command -q 0 $path.$xls_file"); $cmd .= " > $path.$short_name.csv"; @exec($cmd,$stdout,$errocode); unlink("$path.$xls_file"); if ($errorcode > 0) return $errocode; } } and here is my db class function function insert_file($filename,$table,$col_terminator,$line_terminator,$cols=false,$o pt ions=false,$remove_file=false) { if ($options) $option = "OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '\"' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'"; $this->query("LOAD DATA INFILE '$filename' INTO TABLE $table FIELDS TERMINATED BY '$col_terminator' $option $cols"); if ($remove_files) unlink($filename); } its just a quicky, twiddling thumbs today i just had to find out how to do it :D >===== Original Message From daniel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ===== >ok it works now > >/www_tools/apache/catdoc/bin/xls2csv -q 0 test.xls > test2.csv > > >column1`,column2,column3 >faffafs,fsafsa,fsafs >fssfa,fasfs,fasfs >fasaf,fasfs,asffaf >fafs,sfafsa,fasfas >sfafs,fssfa,fassfa >sfasfa,asfafs,fasfas >asffas,sfaaf,sfafsa >fssaf,asffsa,asffas >sfasfa,sfasaf,fasasf > >then i can load that into mysql using load data into :D, aparantly there are >some bugs , gotta find them >>===== Original Message From daniel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ===== >>ok guys are you ready , >> >>/www_tools/apache/catdoc/bin/xls2csv test.xls > test2.csv >> >>gave me this >> >> >>"column1`","column2","column3" >>"faffafs","fsafsa","fsafs" >>"fssfa","fasfs","fasfs" >>"fasaf","fasfs","asffaf" >>"fafs","sfafsa","fasfas" >>"sfafs","fssfa","fassfa" >>"sfasfa","asfafs","fasfas" >>"asffas","sfaaf","sfafsa" >>"fssaf","asffsa","asffas" >>"sfasfa","sfasaf","fasasf" >> >>unfortunately its putting quotes in, have to strip them >> >>>===== Original Message From <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ===== >>>Yeah... you're going to have to use COM or something similar on a windows >>>server to get effective access to the server. >>> >>>Another option is dynamically adding at as an odbc datasource and querying >>>it.
