Problem You have set up a spreadsheet in How to use GtkSheet - Part 1 - create the spreadsheet?
Now you would like to read the cell contents as shown below:

Solution
- Make sure your version of PHP-GTK2 has the GtkExtra library, and the feature turned on in php.ini. (See notes below.)
- Create the spreadsheet as outlined in How to use GtkSheet - Part 1 - create the spreadsheet?
- Get the number of rows with
GtkSheet::get_rows_count().
- Get the number of columns with
GtkSheet::get_columns_count().
- Read the cell content with
GtkSheet::cell_get_text().
Important Note: This only works for PHP-GTK2 compliled with the additional library GtkExtra. For linux, you can download the files from http://gtkextra.sourceforge.net/ and do a recompile. For windows, you may use the builds by Elizabeth Smith or the official php-gtk2 beta release available at http://gtk.php.net/download.php. Both contain all the required gtkextra libraries and dll's. In the php.ini, don't forget to add php-gtk.extensions = php_gtk_extra2.dll to turn on GtkExtra.

// display title
$title = new GtkLabel("Using GtkSheet\n". "Part 2 - reading the cell contents"); $title->modify_font(new PangoFontDescription("Times New Roman Italic 10")); $title->modify_fg(Gtk::STATE_NORMAL, GdkColor::parse("#0000ff")); $title->set_size_request(-1, 40); $title->set_justify(Gtk::JUSTIFY_CENTER); $alignment = new GtkAlignment(0.5, 0, 0, 0); $alignment->add($title); $vbox->pack_start($alignment, 0, 0); $vbox->pack_start(new GtkLabel(), 0, 0);
$vbox->pack_start($hbox = new GtkHBox(), 0); $hbox->pack_start($button = new GtkButton('Read Values'), 0);
$scrolled_win = new GtkScrolledWindow(); $scrolled_win->set_policy( Gtk::POLICY_AUTOMATIC, Gtk::POLICY_AUTOMATIC); $vbox->pack_start($scrolled_win);
$sheet = new GtkSheet(6, 12, 'Test 123'); $sheet->set_autoresize(1); $scrolled_win->add($sheet);
$button->connect('clicked', 'on_click', $sheet);
