I haven't seen anything that will read the most recent versions of the 
binary xls files. I haven't looked for about 6 months though.

Try google code search:
     http://www.google.com/codesearch?q=excel+reader+lang%3Aphp

http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpexcelreader only "Reads only Biff 7 
and Biff 8 formats." which covers Excel 95 - 2007 I think.

Excel file format specs are here:
