#77 php7 compatibility

Christian Gingras — Tue, 18 Sep 2018 21:33:22 -0000

Hi. I have a tool using this code and the host updated PHP to version 7.2, from 5.6. The tool is no longer working, of course. I've modified following the comment above but I get an error on Line 31 saying this:

Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required 'oleread.inc' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php7.2') in /homepages/41/d487880956/htdocs/slotcarcorner/php2/reader.php on line 31

I have no experience with code and I no longer have access to the guy who put this together for me. Can someone help me? Thank you.

php7 compatibility

some Minor Update have to be done to get this thing to php7:

reader.php
L31:
old: require_once 'Spreadsheet/Excel/Reader/OLERead.php';
new: require_once 'oleread.inc';

L259:
old: function Spreadsheet_Excel_Reader()
new: function __construct()

L261:
old: $this->_ole =& new OLERead();
new: $this->_ole = new OLERead();

Custom Data Format Problem

TCB13 — Tue, 01 May 2012 21:06:17 -0000

Hello,
I'm trying to read a custom date/time format:

01/01/2012 00:15:00

When I read it I get values like:

40909.0104167

It's a date/time value, how can I read it properly?
I even tried to set the setColumnFormat to "%s" in order to get a string instead of a float but I get the same thing.

Thank you.

Infinite while loop

Anonymous — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 14:29:32 -0000

With the current version:

unzip phpExcelReader.zip
vi Excel/reader.php
# change require_once to 'Excel/oleread.inc';

php example.php ----- infinite while loop
php example2.php ---- infinite while loop

it appears to get stuck in __readData's while loop as $block always equals 0.....

Problem in date format

Rasesh Ajwalia — Sat, 20 Nov 2010 07:10:46 -0000

Hello there,

I realise while coding that if we have m/d/yyyy (default format) in any date formated cell,
then it will show me wrong date for the date below 12 of any month any year...
i.e. for date 5/9/2010(m/d/yyyy) the script will parse as 10-05-2010(dd-mm-yyyy)...

When i tracking the code i have seen that there is no deafult indexCode for date format m/d/yyyy...
(See : in file reader.php->line no.209->array $dateFormats)

Can i have list of index code for default date format used by Excel???

Or please give me the solution for that....

Wrong text is read from a cell

Pavel — Sat, 21 Aug 2010 16:28:57 -0000

We have noticed a very strange bug. Our customer sent us an order in Excel form and one of the cells is read incorrectly, more exactly first part of the text is truncated. The correct text is "'P2i1869378=154118693780020003=254=33 Санкт-Петербург=exist.ru" and what reader gets is "3 Санкт-Петербург=exist.ru".

I don't want to upload the order here for public access, but I can send it to you if you contact me via email or somehow else.
