<?php
require_once 'SimpleXLSX.php';

if ( $xlsx = SimpleXLSX::parse('pricelist.xlsx') ) {
  print_r( $xlsx->rows() );
} else {
  echo SimpleXLSX::parseError();
}

PHPExcel (see GitHub repository) is probably your best option. It's very slick and easy to use, I've had no problem with the new XLSX format.

Update :

PHPExcel - DEAD

PHPExcel last version, 1.8.1, was released in 2015. The project was officially deprecated in 2017 and permanently archived in 2019.

The project has not be maintained for years and must not be used anymore. All users must migrate to its direct successor PhpSpreadsheet, or another alternative.

XLSXReader (available on GitHub) is based on SimpleXLSX (see answer by Sergey Shuchkin).

Convert dates from xlsx using XLSXReader::toUnixTimeStamp.

sample.xlsx

sample.xlsx

sample.php

require (__DIR__ . '/../xlsxreader/XLSXReader.php');

// entire workbook
$xlsx = new XLSXReader('sample.xlsx');
$sheetNames = $xlsx->getSheetNames();

// loop through worksheets
foreach ($sheetNames as $sheetName) {
    $sheet = $xlsx->getSheet($sheetName);

    // worksheet header
    echo('<h3>' . htmlentities($sheetName) . '</h3><table>' . PHP_EOL);
    $xlsx_data = $sheet->getData();
    $header_row_xlsx = array_shift($xlsx_data);

    // header row
    echo('<tr>' . PHP_EOL);
    echo("\t<th>row</th>" . PHP_EOL);
    for ($i = 0; $i < count($header_row_xlsx); $i++) {
        $xlsx_field_name = '' . $header_row_xlsx[$i];
        echo("\t<th>" . htmlentities("$xlsx_field_name") . '</th>' . PHP_EOL);
    }
    echo('</tr>' . PHP_EOL);

    // loop through data rows
    $row_number = 1;
    foreach ($xlsx_data as $row_xlsx) {

        // data row
        echo('<tr>' . PHP_EOL);
        echo("\t<td>" . htmlentities("$row_number") . '</td>' . PHP_EOL);
        for ($i = 0; $i < count($row_xlsx); $i++) {
            $xlsx_field_name = '' . ($i < count($header_row_xlsx) ? $header_row_xlsx[$i] : '');
            if ("$xlsx_field_name" === "DoB") {

                // date value
                $xlsx_field_value = DateTimeImmutable::
                        createFromFormat('U', XLSXReader::toUnixTimeStamp($row_xlsx[$i]))
                        ->format('Y-m-d');
            } else {

                // non-date value
                $xlsx_field_value = $row_xlsx[$i];

            }
            echo("\t<td>" . htmlentities("$xlsx_field_value") . '</td>' . PHP_EOL);
        }
        echo('</tr>' . PHP_EOL);

        $row_number++;
    }
    echo("</table><!-- end of $sheetName -->" . PHP_EOL);
}

output

<h3>Sheet1</h3><table>
<tr>
    <th>row</th>
    <th>Name</th>
    <th>Number</th>
    <th>DoB</th>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>1</td>
    <td>David</td>
    <td>7</td>
    <td>1988-11-12</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>2</td>
    <td>Walt</td>
    <td>8</td>
    <td>1972-01-19</td>
</tr>
</table><!-- end of Sheet1 -->

XLSXReader is a heavily modified version of:
    SimpleXLSX php class v0.4 (Artistic License)
    Created by Sergey Schuchkin from http://www.sibvision.ru - professional php developers team 2010-2011
    Downloadable from GitHub.

Key Changes include:
    Separation into two classes - one for the Workbook and one for Worksheets
    Access to sheets by name or sheet id
    Use of ZIP extension
    On-demand access of files inside zip
    On-demand access to sheet data
    No storage of XML objects or XML text
    When parsing rows, include empty rows and null cells so that data array has same number of elements for each row
    Configuration option for removing trailing empty rows
    Better handling of cells with style information but no value
    Change of class names and method names
    Removed rowsEx functionality including extraction of hyperlinks

While I recommend getting the latest code from GitHub, the entire 1-file library is less than 400 lines of code, so I included the current version (11/10/2018) above.
