Importing and Exporting

• Excel files are a pain in the butt
  • Possibly the The Chicago Project [1]. It seems incomplete and is written in C.
  • XLHTML seems like a converter
  • Also is it worth supporting now that it's obsolete (people still use it)??
• But CSV seems a lot nicer
  • fgetcsv is a built in PHP function to turn it into an array which we can process
• Excel 2007 files are XML-based so we can support that along with XML
  • It's the wave of the future!
