   I used fgetcsv() function to get the data from a excel file.
 While reading the data it shows some special characters . 
 I found the same problems in 
  http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=12127edit=2 
  Is it a bug?

What special characters does it show?

 Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

 It shows  ÐÏࡱá\\þÿ etc.

 source code I used is

  $handle = fopen (file.xls,r);
  while ($data = fgetcsv ($handle, 1000, ,))
  {
   $num = count($data);
   for ($c=0; $c  $num ; $c++)
   {
$str_email = $data[$c];
 echo $str_email;

   }
  }

You have to save the .xls file as a .csv file, then you can open and getcsv

 Thanks Jay.
  
  Could anybody please tell me how to read the data from an excel file ? It 
should work independent of the operating system. I don't want the csv format.

excel files aren't independent of the OS, csv files are. Excel files 
need to be parsed, because they contain heaps of formatting data. If 
you're using php on a windows OS, then you can use COM or .NET to read 
it in. On other systems however, you'll likely run into problems pretty 
quickly, and will most probably need to write your own parser routine

Not to mention the different versions of excel that alter the format.

For your first step, you'll have to convince Microsoft to OpenSource their
code...

Oh, yeah.

You can't do that.
