Сейчас прямо в нужном экшне сделал так:
$fileinc='/var/www/html/system/libs/PHPExcel/Classes/PHPExcel/IOFactory.php'; include($fileinc);
class MyReadFilter implements PHPExcel_Reader_IReadFilter { private $_startRow = 0; private $_endRow = 0; /** Get the list of rows and columns to read */ public function __construct($startRow, $endRow, $columns) { $this->_startRow = $startRow; $this->_endRow = $endRow; $this->_columns = $columns; } public function readCell($column, $row, $worksheetName = '') { // Only read the rows and columns that were configured if ($row >= $this->_startRow && $row <= $this->_endRow) { return true; } } return false; } }
