embed excel or .csv in webpage

[charles07]

hi all

is there anyway embedding excel or .csv files to the webpage other than the folowing two options

. saving it as a webpage
. using google docs

i used the following code, iam getting the .csv file in the page, but it would be good to have the color formatting, bold, italics... also in the webpage.

is it possible?

<?php 
      $cnx = fopen("example.csv", "r"); //open example.csv 
      echo("<table style='border:1px solid #ddd;'>"); // echo the table 
      while (!feof ($cnx)) { // while not end of file 
      $buffer = fgets($cnx); // get contents of file (name) as variable 
      $values = explode(",", $buffer); //explode "," between the values within the  contents 
      echo "<tr>"; 
      for ( $j = 0; $j < count($values); $j++ ) {  // 
      echo("<td style='border:1px solid #ddd;'>$values[$j]</td>"); 
      } 
      echo"</tr>"; 
      }; 
      echo("</table>"); 
      fclose($cnx); //close filename variable 
      ?>

if you want to create, read or update excel file then PHPExcel is a good choice

i tried PHPExcel too, but found too difficult to implement
