Excel 2007 files

xlsx files are not data files, they are archive files (zip files to be exact).

In the zip you'll find a directory called 'xl', in there a directory called 'worksheets'. And in there an XML representation of each sheet. Which can be parsed by any decent XML parser.

i believe that the excel_reader library needs the php zip extension for it to be able to handle excel 2007

So what's the proper solution? Could you please give me another solution how I ca read the xlsx data?
