upload excel file docs to server for click and view

[jalen]

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

once you have uploaded just put a link to it in your html

If you want to render the Excel file as though it was HTML, then you'd need a library to convert from XLS to HTML
