You may get many situations where you need to validate the format of Excel data sheet against a specified XML schema. so you may also need to required to generate XML schema as per your requirement of an Excel Work Sheet. Once this has done then you will find the XML file and XML Schema based on provided range. Then requirement arise for Validation of Excel Worksheet/Workbook against the provided XML Schema.Then you need to make Provision of batch processing capability.

You need to save your excel file as .CSV that will be Comma Separated Values format. This will include only the data which would be having any format in the sense that table and the table type or any other information. you need to copy the script in an empty text file and save that file as AnyName.php. Then keep both the .CSV and .PHP files in the same location. Now Open the .PHP file to set the same name for your .CSV and .XML file and run the script again this will creates a XML file from the corresponding .CSV.

NOTE: Requires PHP >= 5.1
