I've been using PHPExcel with .xls files for a few years now. Learned tonight that Google Sheets downloads as .xlsx... but was able to find the fix for PHPExcel 1.8 to do .xlsx. Which is backwards compatible with .xls.
So I at least have a workaround. Since I like to travel, I like using Sheets with the Chrome Excel extension, rather than .xls files and OO (which is a dead-end project, and LibreOffice is of no interest to me with the Excel Chrome Extension). I would like to take the next step beyond downloading/FTP'ing a .xlsx file to my webserver, to being realtime read (at least) of that spreadsheet data by my PHP script for the webpage in question..
