Export your data to a delimited format and import it to a table in MySQL.

Thank you for your help, I know the excel spreadsheet format can be save as .csv file, and If I have phpMyAdmin, so do you know the steps that export to phpMyAdmin?

or you could write a short script to do it in PHP, its pretty easy really, you open up an odbc connection to excell and a mysql connection, then you select all the stuff in the excell spreadsheet and put it in the appropriate places in your mysql database. makes for an easy and very bendable and customizable solution, so
