pavanpuligandla Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Hii, can we create replica of google docs spreadsheets using php?(with minimal features) i mean can we open an excel sheet which can be editable in a web browser? i think we have only packages like reading an excel and writing to excel in PHP. we can read an excel file using PHP's PEAR module but that is not editable, that only reads and prints the excel cells. can we create any new excel spreadsheets in a web browser? any ideas?? i've been searching for this for 3 months. :banghead: waht happened to the code gurus and experts in this forum, no body r replying..this is 2 bad. My application is like entering records in an excel which is read by PHP then uploaded to database.but i cannot edit the PHP read excel file. i want to open a new excel sheet in a web browser which we can save, edit and upload to DB. can anyone please help me??

DarkWater Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 There's plenty of code gurus and experts in this forum, but no one wants to code this for you. Do you know how to write PHP well?

pavanpuligandla Posted October 26, 2008 Author Share Posted October 26, 2008 Do you know how to write PHP well? ha ha ha... i'vent asked you for code, i asked for suggestion how to proceed. FORUMS are for exchanging views and ideas not for exchanging "who knows waht? or who knows well? than others"" please take it as my advice and dun ever never post such silly replies.. for ur information i succeeded in writing the code. i pointed code gurus and experts but NOT U personally, if u know the solution then boost up the newbies with ur thoughts else simply delete your account and do ur home work. coming to the point, i used PHPEXCEL to read and write spreadsheets in a web browser, previously i used only php reader which parses the excel file and prints the cells which is not editable. Many Thanks, "Never argue with an idiot,they drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience" lol Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/130081-google-docs-spreadsheets-with-php/#findComment-674861 Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was simply asking if you knew any PHP because otherwise what you're essentially doing is asking us to code this for you. You won't find a pure PHP option to do this since php is server side. There's a Javascript spreadsheet engine called TrimSpreadsheet by Trimpath that can turn a table into a spreadsheet automatically. You could use PHP to generate a table with all the information in the correct cells, then pass that table to TrimSpreadhseet to turn it into a functional spreadsheet. Likewise you would use Javascript to turn the resulting spreadsheet data into an array to be passed to PHP when you wish to save the spreadsheet. http://code.google.com/p/trimpath/wiki/TrimSpreadsheet Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/130081-google-docs-spreadsheets-with-php/#findComment-674899 Share on other sites More sharing options...
