PHPExcel - How to read excel sheet with sheet id

Question

I am using PHPExcel for import data from excel file.

In my current code I am reading sheet data with sheet name and getting results in array. Now I want to read sheet data with sheet id with bellow function.

$objPHPExcel->setActiveSheetIndex(2)

but this is not working with my code.

Here is my code work:

/** Error reporting */
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', TRUE);
ini_set('display_startup_errors', TRUE);
define('EOL',(PHP_SAPI == 'cli') ? PHP_EOL : '<br />');

/** PHPExcel_IOFactory */
require_once dirname(__FILE__) . '/../Classes/PHPExcel/IOFactory.php';

$objReader = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createReader('Excel2007');

$inputFileType = 'Excel2007';
$inputFileName = 'hello.xlsx';
$sheetname = 'Sample'; // I DON'T WANT TO USE SHEET NAME HERE

$objReader = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createReader($inputFileType);
$objReader->setLoadSheetsOnly($sheetname);
$objPHPExcel = $objReader->load($inputFileName);
$sheetData = $objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->toArray(null,true,true,true);
echo ' Highest Column '. $getHighestColumn = $objPHPExcel->setActiveSheetIndex()->getHighestColumn(); // Get Highest Column
echo ' Get Highest Row '. $getHighestRow = $objPHPExcel->setActiveSheetIndex()->getHighestRow(); // Get Highest Row

echo "<pre>";
    print_r($sheetData);
echo "</pre>";

For Mark Baker:

I am getting this result in my question code when sheet name is Sample (Sheet ID: 2)

Array
(
    [1] => Array
        (
            [A] => OrderDate
            [B] => Region
            [C] => Rep
            [D] => Item
            [E] => Units
            [F] => Unit Cost
            [G] => Total
        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [A] => 1/6/13
            [B] => East
            [C] => Jones
            [D] => Pencil
            [E] => 95
            [F] => 1.99
            [G] => 189.05
        )

    [3] => Array
        (
            [A] => 1/23/13
            [B] => Central
            [C] => Kivell
            [D] => Binder
            [E] => 50
            [F] => 19.99
            [G] => 999.5
        )

After changing I am getting this result:

    [_uniqueID:PHPExcel:private] => 543b9dab3f6da

                )

        )

        )

    [_workSheetCollection:PHPExcel:private] => Array
        (
            [0] => PHPExcel_Worksheet Object

Any Idea?

Thanks.

After help of Mark Baker Now I am able to get sheet data with sheet ID.

Here is full code work:

<?php
/** Error reporting */
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', TRUE);
ini_set('display_startup_errors', TRUE);
define('EOL',(PHP_SAPI == 'cli') ? PHP_EOL : '<br />');

/** PHPExcel_IOFactory */
require_once dirname(__FILE__) . '../PHPExcel/IOFactory.php';

$objReader = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createReader('Excel2007');

$inputFileType = 'Excel2007';
$inputFileName = 'hello.xlsx';
$sheetIndex = 2;

$objReader = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createReader($inputFileType);
$sheetnames = $objReader->listWorksheetNames($inputFileName);
$objReader->setLoadSheetsOnly($sheetnames[$sheetIndex]);
$objPHPExcel = $objReader->load($inputFileName);
$sheetData = $objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->toArray(null,true,true,true);

echo "<pre>";
    print_r($sheetData);
echo "</pre>";
?>

Thanks Mark Baker :)

If you want to load all the worksheets in the workbook, then change

$inputFileType = 'Excel2007';
$inputFileName = 'hello.xlsx';
$sheetname = 'Sample'; // I DON'T WANT TO USE SHEET NAME HERE

$objReader = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createReader($inputFileType);
$objReader->setLoadSheetsOnly($sheetname);
$objPHPExcel = $objReader->load($inputFileName);

to

$inputFileType = 'Excel2007';
$inputFileName = 'hello.xlsx';

$objReader = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createReader($inputFileType);
$objPHPExcel = $objReader->load($inputFileName);

EDIT

Based on your comments:

$inputFileType = 'Excel2007';
$inputFileName = 'hello.xlsx';
$sheetIndex = 2;

$objReader = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createReader($inputFileType);
$sheetnames = $objReader->listWorksheetNames($inputFileName);
$objReader->setLoadSheetsOnly($sheetname);
$objReader->setLoadSheetsOnly($sheetnames[$sheetIndex]);
$objPHPExcel = $objReader->load($inputFileName);

This will get the sheetname used for the sheet at sheetindex 2, and then use that sheetname to load only that sheet
