Reading multiple files with PHPExcel
- by KaOSoFt
Hello there.
I just recently started using this library (the one from CodePlex), but I ran into some issues. My goal is to use it so I can process some data from multiple Excel files, and send such data to a database, per file. I'm doing something like:
foreach( $file_list as $file ) {
$book = PHPExcel_IOFactory::load( $path . $file );
}
So, inside the foreach I'm (for now) just showing the data to the user, but after five files, I get a memory error:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 50688 bytes) in /var/www/test/classes/PHPExcel/Shared/OLERead.php on line 76
Is there a way to __destruct the object after each file is loaded, so space is reserved (made free) for the next file, instead of accumulating it, or do you rather know of a reason and work-around for this?
Please let me know any suggestions you have.
Thanks in advance.
