Description
On Matt's website, it says, "I've .. created the free PHP Excel Reader which
many people find useful. " (http://socialfixer.com/about.php)
Yet on the version I have, the source says:
> Version 2.21
>
> Enhanced and maintained by Matt Kruse < http://mattkruse.com >
> Maintained at http://code.google.com/p/php-excel-reader/
>
> Format parsing and MUCH more contributed by:
> Matt Roxburgh < http://www.roxburgh.me.uk >
>
> Originally developed by Vadim Tkachenko under the name PHPExcelReader.
> (http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpexcelreader)
> Based on the Java version by Andy Khan (http://www.andykhan.com). Now
> maintained by David Sanders.
It's unclear if Vadim Tkachenko created the PHP project or Matt Kruse. Pls
clarify, thank you.
