EXCEL Populate [Support]

I tried this install/reinstall several times with a new installation of ZenCart. From the ground up, step by step, I could not even get this to put a single item into the Carts Inventory, let alone, category or manufacturer data.

I got the add on to generate a report, but when you try to update back into the system it doesn't work.

I don't have any more time. This add on has been here for a year and I don't see anyone claiming it works, nor does the add on's creator seem to even want to get this working for ZenCart.

I give up.

I'm using Zen Cart v1.5.3 and Excel Populate when running populate from file, it bring up a HTTP 500 error.
Is this even still being supported?

Iam having the same problem with the blank screen. HERE ISW THE ERROR LOG INFO:

hi guys got an issue with EXCEL POPULATE . when i upload the spreadsheet with all the data completed upload is fine. but when i go to click populate a blank white screen appears.. can someone help me ?

I am having the same White Screen problem when trying to populate from the file that I have successfully uploaded. I DO have the PHP "E_ALL" errors turned on in the excel.php file but still nothing gets output to the browser.

Has anyone found a solution to this?

More debug data here.
I instrumented the excel.php file in certain areas and below is a trace of execution to a point where nothing else gets printed:

Import Starting Line#44
Setting up arrays Line#61
Entering Switch Case Line#106
Entering case: populate Line#321
Completed require_once Line#323
Created new spreadsheet Line#326
Reading tmp/filename Line#331
Filename = tmp/ExcelPopulate_TestProduct.xls Line#332

The offending line is here:

***$data->read('temp/'.urldecode($_GET['filename']));

Nothing seems to execute after this line.

Any ideas would be great, as I need to import my new products.

Thanks in advance!!!

I just installed Zencart 1.54 (fresh install using the test db) and wanted to try this plugin: Excel Populate. Does it work with 1.54? It installs ok and exports an Excel fiel, but if I try to "populate from file", I get a 500 server error. My server is unsing PHP 5.6.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Changed permissions on the Excel file to 777, but that didn't help.
