I have tables in MySQL database. This is the structure of my database tables:

table 1 - tbl_main_categories:

column(id,category_name)
values(1,jewellery)
values(2,earrings)

table-2(tbl_sub_category)

column(id,main_category_id,sub_cat_name)
values(1,1(from table tbl_main_categories),fine jewellwry)
values(2,1(from table tbl_main_categories),cutting jewellwry)
values(3,2(from table tbl_main_categories),sea earing)

table-3(tbl_products)

column(id,product_name,sub_category_id)
values(1,product1,2(from table tbl_sub_category))
values(2,product2,3(from table tbl_sub_category))
values(3,product3,2(from table tbl_sub_category))

My excel sheet data as follows(product.xls)

row-1

col1->product_name=product4.
col2->sub_category=cutting jewellwry

row-2

col1->product_name=product5.
col2->sub_category=sea earing

row-3

col1->product_name=product6.
col2->sub_category=finejewellwry

row-4

col1->product_name=product7.
col2->sub_category=sea earing

My problem:

How to import file product.xls to MySQL table (tbl_products), as it contains ids from table tbl_sub_categories where as in my Excel there is name of sub_categories?

Please suggest me a library as I am beginner to PHP world.

You can use this class if you export your Excel spreadsheet to the CSV format.

It is important that the spreadsheet headers match the database field names.
