Error Reading Excel File

The error message suggests that the system is unable to find the zip member. This could be due to a permission issue or a missing dependency. To resolve this issue, you can try the following steps:

1. Check if the required PHP zip extension is installed. You can do this by running the following command:

php -m | grep zip

If the output is empty, it means the extension is not installed. You can install it by running the following command:

sudo apt-get install php-zip

1. Check the permissions of the storage directory. Make sure that the web server user has write permissions to the storage directory. You can do this by running the following command:

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/builder/storage
sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www/builder/storage

Replace /var/www/builder/storage with the path to your storage directory.

1. If the above steps do not work, try changing the file format of the Excel spreadsheet to a different format such as CSV or XML.

2. If none of the above steps work, try using a different library to read the Excel file such as PHPOffice/PhpSpreadsheet.

composer require phpoffice/phpspreadsheet

Then, modify your code to use the new library. Here's an example:

use PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\IOFactory;

$spreadsheet = IOFactory::load('/path/to/excel/file.xlsx');
$worksheet = $spreadsheet->getActiveSheet();
$data = $worksheet->toArray();
