Step 2: Create db_config.php file

In this step, we have to create db_config.php file for database configuration, In this file you have to set database host, database username, database password, database name. This file will use for store data into database.

So, let's create db_config.php file and put bellow code:

db_config.php

<?php
	$dbHost = "localhost";
	$dbDatabase = "h_php";
	$dbPasswrod = "root";
	$dbUser = "root";
	$mysqli = new mysqli($dbHost, $dbUser, $dbPasswrod, $dbDatabase);



?>

Step 3: Create index.php file

In this step i am going to create index.php file in your root directory, in this file i created simply form using bootstrap, this way you have to just feel this form and click to "Submit" button. You can import excel file from file input button.

So let's copy bellow code and put it into index.php file.

index.php

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
	<title>Excel Uploading PHP</title>
	<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css">
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
	<h2>Excel Upload</h2>
	<form method="POST" action="excelUpload.php" enctype="multipart/form-data">
		<div class="form-group">
			<label>Upload Excel File</label>
			<input type="file" name="file" class="form-control">



		</div>
		<div class="form-group">
			<button type="submit" name="Submit" class="btn btn-success">Upload</button>
		</div>
		<p>Download Demo File from here : <a href="demo.ods"><strong>Demo.ods</strong></a></p>
	</form>
</div>
</body>
</html>

Step 4: Create excelUpload.php file

You have to create excelUpload.php file that will manage for import data into database, In this step we have to create uploads folder for store excel file into this file and then read that file.

So, let's create excelUpload.php file and put bellow code:

excelUpload.php

<?php
require('library/php-excel-reader/excel_reader2.php');
require('library/SpreadsheetReader.php');
require('db_config.php');
if(isset($_POST['Submit'])){



  $mimes = ['application/vnd.ms-excel','text/xls','text/xlsx','application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.spreadsheet'];
  if(in_array($_FILES["file"]["type"],$mimes)){
    $uploadFilePath = 'uploads/'.basename($_FILES['file']['name']);
    move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], $uploadFilePath);
    $Reader = new SpreadsheetReader($uploadFilePath);
    $totalSheet = count($Reader->sheets());
    echo "You have total ".$totalSheet." sheets".
    $html="<table border='1'>";
    $html.="<tr><th>Title</th><th>Description</th></tr>";
    /* For Loop for all sheets */
    for($i=0;$i<$totalSheet;$i++){
      $Reader->ChangeSheet($i);
      foreach ($Reader as $Row)
      {
        $html.="<tr>";
        $title = isset($Row[0]) ? $Row[0] : '';
        $description = isset($Row[1]) ? $Row[1] : '';
        $html.="<td>".$title."</td>";



        $html.="<td>".$description."</td>";
        $html.="</tr>";
        $query = "insert into items(title,description) values('".$title."','".$description."')";
        $mysqli->query($query);
       }
    }
    $html.="</table>";
    echo $html;
