Upload, import, delete xls

Maybe take a look at this package: https://github.com/Maatwebsite/Laravel-Excel

@devinfd has done some of that work, might be able to provide some direction

Perhaps I don't understand the question. To import a file from any location just pass the load method the path to the file. ex:

$readerObject = Excel::load('path/to/file.xlsx');

// or
use Maatwebsite\Excel\Excel;

public function __construct(Excel $excel)
{
    $this->excel = $excel;
}

$readerObject = $this->excel->load('path/to/file.xlsx');

What i mean is. Is there a way to dynamically get the xls' file location without providing the file's directory?

Or i need to provide the directory?

If you don't provide the directory, it'll be impossible for your server to find it. It's kind of like calling a friend up and saying "can you pick up this package for me? It's in a mailbox."

@thepsion5 nice example :P
