jalen Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Could someone provide suggestion, code examples or advice on if I can upload an excel file with PHP and MYSQL and display this file on the server so when someone go to this server can click on this file and open the excel document for view. Just like when someone is using email to send an excel file, and the person who received it could click on this file and open it for view. So instead of emailing it, I would like to have this upload to the server, could this be done? I have done uploaded pics with php and mysql with success, but when doing upload with files such as excel, it uploaded successfully but the upload is not a file that can be click and view but just blanks. thanks Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/152648-upload-excel-file-docs-to-server-for-click-and-view/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Baker Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 when doing upload with files such as excel, it uploaded successfully but the upload is not a file that can be click and view but just blanks. thanksIf you want to render the Excel file as though it was HTML, then you'd need a library to convert from XLS to HTML Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/152648-upload-excel-file-docs-to-server-for-click-and-view/#findComment-802114 Share on other sites More sharing options...
