The most recent versions of Excel (at least in Office XP and Office 2003)
allow you to publish the spreadsheet as a .htm file and autorepublish the
file every time the worksheet is saved.  You could then parse the file into
your PHP site, or just link to the HTML file directly (though it'd only look
as nice as the spreadsheet itself).

Subject: [nycphp-talk] Linking Excel to PHP/MySQL (older versions)

greetings ...

a client is looking for a method to enable the ability where they could open
an excel doc, edit on the fly, and tie the content in with a website using a
template like say smarty ...

i have not read much up on "smart tags" but if content was tagged in smarty
like such:

{home_team.name} {home_team.score}

is there a dynamic way (macro, etc) to enable the content of the excel doc
to be posted to a site?  i had tried to convince the guy to ditch the excel
so i could do it online but he is someone more comfortable w/ excel only ...

what is the solution if i wanted to keep his doc and my site in sync?
thanks in advance for any suggestions.

- jon
