Has anyone tried using the excel import function that comes with phpmyadmin http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/ - it does not require any additional plug-ins or scripts and is fairly straightforward to use. In phpmyadmin, if you click on the database table which you wish to import the data to , there is a link on the bottom left corner which says "insert data from a text file into the table" - although it says text file it still can be used to import an excel file. When you click on this link you will be taken to a page where you will be asked for the file name (the excel file should be saved as a csv file), how the fields in the file are terminated (you would change this to a "," without the quotation marks), and other data formatting attributes (these are usually left blank). I have never found any problem when using this

Cool, I just wish you coulve posted this like a couple of months ago. A friend who is a programmer had to make a little php program that would import a huge excel file into phpmyadmin. He first exported the excel as text and then run it through his program and everything was loaded into phpmyadmin. This method wouldve saved us a lot of time.

Hmmzzz I wil start working with that soon.
I once started a website that was using excell as a database (only to view not to change) ..

So all people in one company could look at the same data via intranet (php)...

Hi,

I'm wrestling with the same issue for some time. We want to import our XLS files if possible to a MYSQL database and make them search-able. By the way I had another question that someone here may know the answer and that is how to invert this XLS file into TXT format to import it to MYSQL anyway?


Thank you for your help.

More people should write-up their easy solutions and get them out for others to see. Thanks again.-reply by David
