Skip First Row in PHPSpreadsheet Import - php

Question

Just started working with phpspreadsheet. I am trying to figure out how to skip the header row in my excel file when uploading.
require '../vendor/autoload.php';
if (pathinfo($_FILES['upexcel']['name'], PATHINFO_EXTENSION) == 'csv') {
$reader = new \PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\Reader\Csv();
} else {
$reader = new \PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\Reader\Xlsx();
}
$spreadsheet = $reader->load($_FILES['upexcel']['tmp_name']);
$worksheet = $spreadsheet->getActiveSheet();
$sql = "INSERT INTO `testCommission` (`One`, `two`, `three`, `four`, `five`, `six`, `seven`) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)";
foreach ($worksheet->getRowIterator() as $row) {
// Fetch data
$cellIterator = $row->getCellIterator();
$cellIterator->setIterateOnlyExistingCells(false);
$data = [];
foreach ($cellIterator as $cell) {
$data[] = $cell->getValue();
}
What can I do to achieve this with the above script?

You need to detect, when it is the first row, a binary variable like this helps
<?php
require '../vendor/autoload.php';
if (pathinfo($_FILES['upexcel']['name'], PATHINFO_EXTENSION) == 'csv') {
$reader = new \PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\Reader\Csv();
} else {
$reader = new \PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\Reader\Xlsx();
}
$spreadsheet = $reader->load($_FILES['upexcel']['tmp_name']);
$worksheet = $spreadsheet->getActiveSheet();
$sql = "INSERT INTO `testCommission` (`One`, `two`, `three`, `four`, `five`, `six`, `seven`) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)";
$isheader = 0;
foreach ($worksheet->getRowIterator() as $row) {
// Fetch data
if($isheader > 0) {
$cellIterator = $row->getCellIterator();
$cellIterator->setIterateOnlyExistingCells(false);
$data = [];
foreach ($cellIterator as $cell) {
$data[] = $cell->getValue();
}
} else
{ $isheader = 1; }
}
?>

Use a filter class.
See docs:
https://phpspreadsheet.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/reading-files/#reading-only-specific-columns-and-rows-from-a-file-read-filters
Don't forget the autoload:
require_once ( 'vendor/autoload.php' );
Create a filter:
class FirstRowFilter implements \PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\Reader\IReadFilter
{
public function readCell($column, $row, $worksheetName = '') {
// Return true for rows after first row
return $row > 0;
}
}
Apply to the reader:
$reader = \PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\IOFactory::createReader("Xlsx");
$filterRow = new FirstRowFilter();
$reader->setReadFilter($filterRow);
Load file:
$spreadsheet = $reader->load($file);
The reader will only load rows after the specified row.
