EasyXLS Excel library can be used to import Excel files with PHP on Windows, Linux, Mac or other operating systems. The integration vary depending on the operating system or if .NET Framework or Java is chosen:

Overloaded methods For methods with same name but different parameters, only the first method overload retains the original name. Subsequent overloads are uniquely renamed by appending to the method name '_2', '_3', etc (method, method_2, method_3), an integer that corresponds to the order of declaration that can be found in EasyXLS.h, a file that comes with EasyXLS installation.
EasyXLS on Linux, Mac, Windows using Java with PHP
If you opt for the Java version of EasyXLS, a similar code as above requires PHP/Java Bridge between PHP and Java.
