I need to read an Excel file and record it on my database. I'm using Laravel + Maatwebsite/Laravel-excel to Read the file. With my currently code I get no errors but no data is shown in the browser:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Http\Requests;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
Use Excel;
class ImportController extends Controller
{
public function index()
{
Excel::load('test.xls', function($reader) {
$result = $reader->get();
foreach ($result as $key => $value) {
echo $value->situation;
}
})->get();
}
}
var_dump($result)
object(Maatwebsite\Excel\Collections\RowCollection)#634 (2) { ["title":protected]=> string(9) "Worksheet" ["items":protected]=> array(161) { [0]=> object(Maatwebsite\Excel\Collections\CellCollection)#646 (2) { ["title":protected]=> NULL ["items":protected]=> array(1) { [0]=> NULL } } 1=>
You can loop the result via:
// Loop through all sheets
$reader->each(function($sheet) {
// Loop through all rows
$sheet->each(function($row) {
});
});
On http://www.maatwebsite.nl/laravel-excel/docs/import you can find more information.
