source.xls just contains a bit of text, right? And you want that to end up
in a Javascript variable?

First, I'd use file_get_contents() or file() to get the contents of
source.xls into a PHP array.

$source = file_get_contents ('http://.../source.xls');

Next, you have to remember that Javascript is just text, the same as HTML.
So you can embed $source into a Javascript block in the same way as you
would embed it into HTML.

<script language="Javascript">
        function doAlert ()
        {
                var source = "<? echo ($source) ?>";
                alert (source);
        }
</script>

<a href='javascript:doAlert()'>Click Me</a>

Apologies for any mistakes in the Javascript, but I'm sure you get the idea.
