Data Search form

[allyozuk]

Hi
Really simple request :)

Can anyone direct me to a "search form" to extract data from my xcel file.

Thanks! (I wish I knew an inkling of what you all seem to....very impressive!)

I'm confused, you want to access an Excel file on the server to search it? Wouldn't a DB be better? Well, either way I don't know how to search an Excel file ... You might check out PHP, fopen() (http://www.w3schools.com/php/func_filesystem_fopen.asp), array() (http://www.w3schools.com/php/func_array.asp), and in_array() (http://www.w3schools.com/php/func_array_in_array.asp). :) Let me know if you need any help with PHP.

i believe excel saves its files in a xml format. maybe this (http://w3schools.com/php/php_xml_parser_expat.asp) will be better
