clean imported xls file with php - php

Question

When I import XLS files, I would like to avoid the import of empty rows. I tried with several codes without success. Can anyone help me?
This is the code:
require('xls/php-excel-reader/excel_reader2.php');
require('xls/SpreadsheetReader.php');
require_once '_inc/_db.php';
$r = rand();
$mimes = ['application/vnd.ms-excel', 'text/xls', 'text/xlsx', 'application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.spreadsheet'];
if (in_array($_FILES["file"]["type"], $mimes)) {
$uploadFilePath = 'storage/' . basename($_FILES['file']['name']);
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], $uploadFilePath);
rename($uploadFilePath, "storage/" . $r . ".xls");
$uploadFilePath = "storage/" . $r . ".xls";
$Reader = new SpreadsheetReader($uploadFilePath);
$totalSheet = count($Reader->sheets());
$tot = 0;
/* For Loop for all sheets */
for ($i = 0; $i < $totalSheet; $i++) {
$Reader->ChangeSheet($i);
$tots = $totalSheet;
foreach ($Reader as $Row) {
$tot++;
$nrcontenitore = isset($Row[0]) ? $Row[0] : '';
$nrcontenitore = str_replace(".", "", $nrcontenitore);
$nrcontenitore = str_replace("-", "", $nrcontenitore);
$nrcontenitore = str_replace("_", "", $nrcontenitore);
$nrcontenitore = str_replace("/", "", $nrcontenitore);
$nrcontenitore = str_replace("\'", "", $nrcontenitore);
$nrcontenitore = preg_replace('/\s+/', '', $nrcontenitore);
$nrcontenitore = isset($Row[0]) ? $Row[0] : '';
$data = isset($Row[1]) ? $Row[1] : '';
$doc .= formatcontainernr(strtoupper($nrcontenitore)) . " | " . date("d/m/Y", strtotime($data)) . "\n";
$docarr .= formatcontainernr(strtoupper($nrcontenitore)) . " | " . date("d/m/Y", strtotime($data)) . "#\n";
}
}
}
I would like to import a XLS file with no empty rows.
