I´m trying to read this XLS file so I can output it using an excel reader library
http://www.bcv.org.ve/excel/1_2_1.xls
But i get an error of 'not readable'
I tried:
readfile()
get_contents()
and with those I get a bunch of weird symbols.
and of course, the main function used by the reader:
$data->read('http://www.bcv.org.ve/excel/1_2_1.xls');
but i get the error not readable
please help me out
You'll have great difficulty loading a remote Excel workbook into any Excel Reader library because the reader almost certainly uses the filesystem functions like fseek() which aren't all supported for remote file streams. Download the file to your server, and then load it from your local filesystem.
