I want to read an xlsx file that was created in Microsoft Excel, but when I run the following code...

$Source_File = \"test.xlsx\";
$Spreadsheet         


        

Answer 1

From my understanding, you are missing a piece. Why don't you first create a reader and then load the file.

Try the following code. It can identify the extension and create the reader of that type accordingly.

$inputFileName = "Text.xlsx";

/**  Identify the type of $inputFileName  **/
$inputFileType = \PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\IOFactory::identify($inputFileName);

/**  Create a new Reader of the type that has been identified  **/
$reader = \PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\IOFactory::createReader($inputFileType);

/**  Load $inputFileName to a Spreadsheet Object  **/
$spreadsheet = $reader->load($inputFileName);

/**  Convert Spreadsheet Object to an Array for ease of use  **/
$schdeules = $spreadsheet->getActiveSheet()->toArray();

Now you can simply run a foreach loop on the result array.

foreach( $schdeules as $single_schedule )
{               
    echo '
';
    foreach( $single_schedule as $single_item )
    {
        echo '
' . $single_item . '
';
    }
    echo '
';
}

This is tested and working code.
