title: PHP import Excel into database (xls & xlsx)
body: <p>I tried to search for some plugins to import Excel file into MySQL database, one of them is <a href="http://code.google.com/p/php-excel-reader/" rel="noreferrer">http://code.google.com/p/php-excel-reader/</a></p>
  
  <p>The tool is so powerful that it displays the entire excel content into html.</p>
  
  <p>However, I think I just need to read the Excel file and extract the contents, for example, into an array, and then write a SQL statement for entering into the database.</p>
  
  <p>Would there be any good codes and packages? Thanks!</p>
