Missed the initial post about COM being dropped in PHP5 which is interesting because I use it in a PHP5 app I wrote at the end of my degree last year which accesses ADODB objects via COM. Works fine in PHP5 for me under the wampp install it is running on for the client on their intranet.

How about using ODBC to read excel files. PHP5 has support for ODBC and ODBC has Excel drivers.

Is there an alternative library?, kind of surprised the Zend framework doesn't do it... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ NZ PHP Users Group: http://groups.google.com/group/nzphpug To post, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
