Invalid rowcount / numrows

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. On some XLS files with multiple sheets, the rowcount is not valid
2. Read XLS file
3. Dump sheet 2

require_once 'excel_reader2.php';
$data = new Spreadsheet_Excel_Reader("example.xls");
echo $data->dump(true,true, 1);

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The attached file as 29 rows in the 2nd sheet, when read it 12579 rows are 
found !

Please provide any additional information below.

I downloaded your xls file and opened it with excel :

Look at the scrollbar on the right :
- on 1st sheet, it is spreading all over the height and if you scroll it down 
you
reach  line number 26.
- Now, on 2nd sheet, the height of the scrollbar is very small, and if you 
slide it
to the bottom, you reach line 12579 !

Thus, excel reports itself 12579 lines on this sheet !

Solution : delete rows from row number 30 to 12579, then save ;p

a small tip: when you are in excel, press Ctrl-End (or End and then Home) and 
the 
excel cursor will move to the last row / last column (bottom right corner) 
that, in 
the 2nd sheet is AH12579.
Cheers

If you're having issues with rowCount() and numRows displaying ridiculously 
high values, try the following:

    max(count($data->sheets[$sheet]['cells']) - 1, 0);

This assumes your sheets have header rows (If not, remove the "- 1" part), 
$data is your Spreadsheet_Excel_Reader class and your sheet number is stored in 
$sheet.

In all honesty, the lines at 1354 and 1357 in excel_reader2.php should be 
replaced with the above instead of relying on Excel to accurately report the 
number of rows in the sheet...

the suggestion to use 
max(count($data->sheets[$sheet]['cells']) - 1, 0);
instead of relying on $data->sheets[0]['numRows'] works.
