PHPExcel file Uploader

Question

When i trying to upload temp.xlsx in PHPExcel script it will return an error like Fatal error: Class 'PHPExcel_Shared_String' not found in /home/demo/public_html/include/Classes/PHPExcel/Autoloader.php on line 36 on my server. But when i run same PHPExcel script in my localhost like

<?php
    require_once('Classes/PHPExcel.php');
    require_once('Classes/PHPExcel/IOFactory.php');

    //Usage:
    convertXLStoCSV('input.xlsx','output.csv');

    function convertXLStoCSV($infile,$outfile)
    {
        $fileType = PHPExcel_IOFactory::identify($infile);
        $objReader = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createReader($fileType);

        $objReader->setReadDataOnly(true);  
        $objPHPExcel = $objReader->load($infile);   

        $objWriter = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createWriter($objPHPExcel, 'CSV');
        $objWriter->save($outfile);
    }
?>

then it will work properly. I have tried the change the permission of folder over the network but it can not work.

It depends upon what versions of PHP and PHPExcel you are running.

If you are running PHPExcel 1.8.0 with PHP < 5.3.0, then a bug was introduced in the autoloader code that would cause this error. It has been fixed in the latest develop branch code on github
