title: PHP Spreadsheet_Excel_Reader - Reading Dates
body: <p>I'm trying to use this class to import a large amount of data.
  Most of the data is being read correctly, however I have two date columns which are giving me problems.</p>
  
  <p>The dates are in the format DD/MM/YYYY and the values returned are one day ahead of those in the spreadsheet. For example, 04/03/2011 becomes 05/03/2011</p>
  
  <p>I have tried accessing the data like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$data-&gt;sheets[$sheet]['cells'][$row][$col];
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have also tried using the raw data:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$data-&gt;sheets[$sheet]['cellsInfo'][$row][$col]['raw']
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Which returns the date as a unix timestamp but still it is one day ahead of what it should be.</p>
  
  <p>Is there anyway I can force the class to return the value of the column as a simple string?</p>
  
  <p>Any advice appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
