How can PHP be used to open and manipulate Excel files for database insertion?

To open and manipulate Excel files for database insertion using PHP, you can use the PHPExcel library. This library allows you to read Excel files, extract data from them, and then insert the data into a database. 

require 'PHPExcel/Classes/PHPExcel.php';

$inputFileName = 'example.xlsx';
$objPHPExcel = PHPExcel_IOFactory::load($inputFileName);

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

foreach ($sheetData as $row) {
    $data = array(
        'column1' => $row['A'],
        'column2' => $row['B'],
        'column3' => $row['C']
    );

    // Insert $data into the database
}
