Are there best practices for efficiently integrating table data from Excel into a website using PHP?

When integrating table data from Excel into a website using PHP, it is best to convert the Excel file into a CSV format for easier parsing. This can be done using PHPExcel library or other Excel libraries. Once the data is in CSV format, you can read the file line by line and insert the data into the website's database or display it on the website as needed. 

// Load the Excel file
$objPHPExcel = PHPExcel_IOFactory::load('example.xlsx');

// Convert Excel data to CSV format
$objWriter = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createWriter($objPHPExcel, 'CSV');
$objWriter->save('example.csv');

// Read the CSV file
if (($handle = fopen("example.csv", "r")) !== FALSE) {
    while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE) {
        // Insert data into database or display on website
        echo "<tr><td>".$data[0]."</td><td>".$data[1]."</td></tr>";
    }
    fclose($handle);
}
