Hello,

 

Is it possible to read the content of an excel file with file_get_contents. I tried it a couple times. The result looked like this:

 

������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������Oh��+'��0�8@Td p|�WorkshopJohn@�v����@��p�������՜.��+,�D��՜.��+,�$�HPX`hp x�� HuidcoachHuidcoach en spec. in huidverbSheet3 f2�ـ����\pJohn B�a�=���=�?�8�@�"��1���A

 

And if it's possible can somebody tell me what i'm doing wrong.

 

Thanx

Sure, but as you may have noticed excel files are not text files.  Your script has to be able to properly understand the format of the data you get back after reading the file. There are a few libraries out that which can process excel files, I'd suggest using one of them.
