excel files aren't independent of the OS, csv files are. Excel files
need to be parsed, because they contain heaps of formatting data. If
you're using php on a windows OS, then you can use COM or .NET to read
it in. On other systems however, you'll likely run into problems pretty
quickly, and will most probably need to write your own parser routine
