Description

I 've used the class excel_reader2.php for reading a excel file from 
http://www.imf.org/external/pubs/ft/weo/2010/01/weodata/WEOApr2010all.xls and 
it returns an error as 

" The filename 
http://www.imf.org/external/pubs/ft/weo/2010/01/weodata/WEOApr2010all.xls is 
not readable ".

But in case of small file from the local directory it works well. What is the 
reason for this issue? 
It is easily work with the tiny excel files.

I am using PHP4 also PHP5 in WindowsXP Operating System.

I just attached both the class file and my sample script.


Can any one help me to resolve this?

Research direction

Start with sample.php and excel_reader2.php, reproducing the difference between the attached local file and the IMF .xls URL. Trace how the class handles each filename and determine the expected behavior for the remote file. Done means the cause is identified and the reported case is fixed or clearly documented.
