Got strange result on php array excel upload

Question

Here's my excel data:

=======================================================================================================
|NYC    |           |   12345       | BG 3   |  3003659123  | YU KERY           | Remark | 15-05-2017 |
|JKT    |           |   54321       | BG 3   |  3003822124  | PRAWINDRA IRAWAN  | Remark | 30-12-2016 |
=======================================================================================================

I just want get the data start from agent code,but after debug the there null array data and also got strange date too.

                [0] => Array
                    (
                        [0] => 12345
                        [1] => NYC
                        [2] => 3003659123 
                        [3] => YU KERY
                        [4] => Remark
                        [5] => 42870 ?
                        [6] => ???
                    )

Here's my code to get the excel data:

        for ($h = 0; $h <= PHPExcel_Cell::columnIndexFromString($objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->getHighestColumn()); $h++)
            if(trim($objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->getCellByColumnAndRow($h,2)->getValue()))
                $headerText['sheet0'][] = strtoupper($objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->getCellByColumnAndRow($h,2)->getValue()); // get header or field name

        $startRow = 3;  
        for ($i = $startRow; $i <= $objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->getHighestRow(); $i++) 
        {
            $dataRow = array();
            for ($j = 2; $j <= count($headerText['sheet0']); $j++) 
            {
                $region = strtolower($objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->getCellByColumnAndRow(0,$i)->getValue());
                $branch = strtolower($objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->getCellByColumnAndRow(1,$i)->getValue());

                if ($region != null) {
                    $dataRow[] = $objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->getCellByColumnAndRow($j,$i)->getValue();
                    if(!in_array($region,$arrNPK) && !empty($region))
                    $arrNPK[] = $region;

                } elseif ($region == null && $branch != null) {

                    $dataRow[] = $objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->getCellByColumnAndRow($j,$i)->getValue();
                    if(!in_array($branch,$arrNPK) && !empty($branch))
                    $arrNPK[] = $branch;

                }
            }
            $arrResult['sheet0'][$region][] = $dataRow;
            $arrResult['sheet0'][$branch][] = $dataRow;
            print_r($arrResult);exit();
        }

why i made $region and $branch is because sometimes users,only fill one of them in excel.

There is nothing really wrong with your code, But you can check the current format in the excel. I guess the date in your excel data is in text format , not the date format you should change the excel format.
