Just want to print cell data from excel file Using PHPExcel?

<?php

error_reporting(E_ALL);
set_time_limit(0);

date_default_timezone_set('Europe/London');

?>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />

<title>PHPExcel Reader Example #09</title>

</head>
<body>


<?php

/** Include path **/
set_include_path(get_include_path() . PATH_SEPARATOR . '../../../Classes/');

/** PHPExcel_IOFactory */
include 'C:\webserver\www\Classes\PHPExcel\IOFactory.php';


$inputFileType = 'Excel5';
//  $inputFileType = 'Excel2007';
//  $inputFileType = 'Excel2003XML';
//  $inputFileType = 'OOCalc';
//  $inputFileType = 'Gnumeric';
$inputFileName = './sampleData/Book1.xls';
$sheetname = 'Data Sheet #3';


class MyReadFilter implements PHPExcel_Reader_IReadFilter
{
    public function readCell($column, $row, $worksheetName = '') {

        if ($row >= 1 && $row <= 1) {
            if (in_array($column,range('A','A'))) {
                return true;
            }
        }
        return false;
    }
}

$filterSubset = new MyReadFilter();

$objReader = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createReader($inputFileType);
$objReader->setLoadSheetsOnly($sheetname);
$objReader->setReadFilter($filterSubset);
$objPHPExcel = $objReader->load($inputFileName);
$sheetData = $objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->toArray(null,true,true,true);
var_dump($sheetData);


?>
<body>
</html>

When i run aboce code it gives me this output

array(1) { [1]=> array(1) { ["A"]=> string(6) "ABCDEF" } }

In above output ABCDEF is first cell data. so i want only ABCDEF not other things as shown above.

That is because you asked PHPExcel to give you the whole worksheet as an array.

If you just want the value of cell A1 use:

$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->getCell('A1')->getValue();

instead of

$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->toArray(null,true,true,true);

More about this in the documentation, in this case the file "PHPExcel developer documentation.pdf".

You can then also remove the read filter altogether. The cells are read in a lazy manner, so you don't save anything with the read filter if you only access cell A1 directly anyway.
