Try using:
http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=22092&group_id=99160


I have never used it, but it looks very straightforward. Docs are here: 
http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=22092&group_id=99160

        
code should be something like this: (for mysql, based on docs)
<?php
include('reader.php');
//Make an instance of the class:
$xl_reader = new Spreadsheet_Excel_Reader();
$xl_reader->read("filename.xls");
$data = $xl_reader->sheets[0]['cells'];
Foreach($cells as $c){
        foreach($c as $cd) $row[] = "\"".$cd."\"";
        $row = implode(",", $row);
        mysql_query("insert into `table` values(".$row.")");
        }
?>

Alain,

I haven't done it with PostgreSQL... But assuming it's not far from  
MySQL just save the excel file as a csv, or a tab separated file and  
import that. If you find away to import a strict xls file let me know,  
I have a project that could really benefit from that :)
