COM And Ms Word
I've read "PHP and COM" by Harish Kamath and I've got a problem just at the beginning.
I'm not able to create an instance of the Word application:
"$word = new COM("word.application") or die("Unable to instantiate application object")".
It doesn't print the die message, it is simply always "sending request to 127.0.0.1 ..."
Is it a problem of "php.ini" settings? I'm using PHP4.0.6 on Windows2000 (Office2000).

Php & Ms Word
I want to display a .doc file to an html page, using PHP. The doc file is located in a MySQL db. It will be used for displaying some announcements through the main web page.
COM & Word
I am trying to print a document after merging some data into it using PHP COM and it seems to be very tempremental and doesn't work at all over network printers. When I say tempremental, if it works on a machine it works, no question, but if it doesn't it just goes nowhere and doesn't say anything at all. Defintely works on Windows XP Pro, but again tempremental, once it wasn't working and I did everything possible, all office updates etc. but gave up and just re-installed windows and it worked fine. Windows 2000, i think i've had it working Windows 2000 Server, not working. All using Office 2000, but even tried the Office 2003 on Windows 2000 Server and nothing at all.. :( It seems very badly documented. The code I use to print: (a simplified just to do the task) <? $empty = new VARIANT(); com_load_typelib('Word.Application'); $word = new COM('word.application') or die('Unable to load Word'); print "Loaded Word, version {$word->Version} <br/>"; $word->Documents->Open("c:/templates/Options.doc"); $output=""; $word->ActiveDocument->PrintOut(0,0,0,$output); ?> Is there any known good resources for doing this? Can anyone shed any light on this?!
PHP, COM And WORD
I'm having some difficulties with PHP and COM (don't worry I can connect to MS WORD and do stuff). Having desperately Google'd it for 6 hours, here is my lays my last hope.There are two things (Actually three) : 1) a) I want to be able to use styles in WORD to format my created word document. I looked at the list but I just can't seem to find the right command. b) If there is no such use, I want to learn how to create my own styles (the company I'm developing the project has customized heading and subheading styles). So I can mimic Word's settings. 2)I'm having encoding problems. My mysql dbase and browser are working on UTF8. The problem is when I create a word document and dump data on it, the special characters just go crazy. I tried $word->Documents[1]->TextEncoding=20905; but it doesn't seem to work. Maybe I messed with the syntax but code generates no errors. Just crap letters on special characters.
PHP And Word COM
I've just starting to use the COM library with Word 97 and I can create new documents based on the example given in the php manual. I'm running PHP 4.0.4 using OmniHTTPd on a Windows 98 machine - the final version will run from a NT 4.0 server. My problem - I want to do a search an replace to tailor a Word template. The code I have been trying at the foot of this message - basically, all I am doing is converting working VBA into PHP syntax. But PHP crashes as soon as it hits find->execute(). Code:
MS Word To .gif

,php To .htm To Ms Word
I've written a (single-page) script that works like this; If no values are posted to it, the script creates a form page for a user to fill in and 'submit'. If values are posted to it (i.e. the user filled in the form), the script renders a page of html with the user-supplied values. Straightforward stuff, however, if values are posted I'd like the rendered page to open in MS word for further editing, instead of the users default browser. What steps can I take to acheve this?
PHP/XML To Word
We use an intranet for the generation of quotes for customers. Once a salesman has selected the quote they can then open it as a word document to edit the details. The word document comes with a customized header for each geographical region. Recently one of the offices moved so we went to the webserver and updated all of the gif's with the new address which will appear before the page is converted to word. Once its converted to word however, the old address appears. I'm at a loss.
Sorting By Word?
Okay, I am making a member database, and when I print it out I want it to display the list by rank. Unfortantly, I stored Rank as a word. I could make a sort function that would be quite extensive and probably take a long time to execute every time... ..Or, is there anyway I can specify in SQL: Put this on the top of the list if "rank='General'" and then next if "rank='Captain'", and so on? I think if this was possible it would take a lot less time to execute... Or else I will probably have to redesign much of the site with numerical ranks instead. Thanks for any answers/advice.

Faxing Via Word Using COM
I am trying to write a script that faxes a message via MS Word. Does anyone know how to : 1. tell the script to select fax as printer 2. insert recipient's name 3. insert recipient's fax number. The names + numbers are fed from a database The following code actually works but obviously it sends the message to the printer : ... $word = new COM("word.application") or die("Unable to instanciate Word"); $word->visible = true; // open an empty doc $word->Documents->Add(); // type the message $word->Selection->TypeText(' This is a test'); $word->Documents[1]->PrintOut(); //closing word $word->Quit(); //free the object $word->Release(); $word = null; ....
MS Word Documents
I've been asked to write a script to upload Microsoft Word documents and then convert them into 'printer friendly' pages. The uploading part I've got no problem with, but I can't find anything about reading MS word docs into PHP. Does anyone know anything about this? I hope it's not as difficult as excel documents - which I'm still trying to get working on and off without any real success.

Word (or Other Documents) To PDF On The Fly?
Is there an option to convert any (or mosts file types) a user might upload to PDF format upon upload? I'd like users to be able to upload Word, Excel, Text and other documents, then have our upload script convert the document to PDF on the fly. Then viewing users would simply need the acrobat reader to view files, not all these other office products. Is this possible with just PHP and pdflib for example? If not, what are the options?
Key Word Grabber?
I was just thinking of building an app with PHP. What it's supposed to do is check and see if the user that just accessed the site has been reffered from a search engine or not. If they are from an SE, then check and see what keywords they used to find us and log the site and keywords for later viewing. How difficult will this be if at all possible?

Saving As WORD
How do i save some text thats is stored in an array... as a Word file ?
Word Count
I was really shocked not to find this already submitted by someone in the PHP manual notes. <? function jnWordCount($text) { $results = array(); $pattern = '/[w0-9]+S+/' // matches wordy characters and numbers preg_match_all($pattern,trim($text),$results); return count($results[0]); } $sentence = ' Should be - (ready) ( 53 ) . , =-' echo jnWordCount($sentence); // outputs 4 // matches: array('Should','be','ready)',ཱ') ?> It counts the number of words ignoring non-wordy charcters and extra whitespace. Infintately better than: <? echo count(explode(' ',$sentence)); ?> Which really only counts the number of spaces not the number of words at all. The reason I'm posting this here is there is just one slight problem. I'm pretty new to regular expressions and they never seem to do exactly what I want. It doesn't seem to want to match single character words. <? echo jnWordCount('a 41 I 5'); // outputs 1. A match for ཥ' only ?>
Word Processing
I use forms (inside php scripts) for adding or changing text on my homepage. I wonder if there is some simple freeware word processing program that I can install on the remote server instead of forms. Which could do simple tasks like change font size or font color and choosing different styles. Or even better a php scrip that do that and is easy to integrate in ones code.

RegEx Replacing A Whole Word Only..
Just wondered if anyone would care to assist me here? I have the following piece of code.. function replace_word($string,$word,$replacewith){ $string=" $string "; $pattern="[^a-z0-9A-Z]"; $pattern.="$word"; $pattern.="[^a-z0-9A-Z]"; $replacement=" $replacewith "; $string=eregi_replace($pattern,$replacement,$string); $string=trim($string); return $string; }//function replace_word And the unfortunate problem is that if say you feed it <td>Word</td> and the word matches, the end result is <td Word /td> Anyone know how to get round this?

Using PHP To Add A Word To A Txt File Every X Charachters
Could PHP be used to take a txt file (or set of txt files) and add a string of characters every X number of words or characters? Say a txt file with 50,000 characters/5,000 words how would you go about adding a string of characters every 5,000 characters or 500 words. To improve on this I'd want to if using characters as the guide to use a space or better yet a line break as the point to add the string of characters. So 5,000 characters to the nearest line break.

Cleaning MS Word Input
I have a problem with a form, and I have tried various permutations of htmlentities() and html_entity_decode() to resolve, but without success. Here is the workflow. 1: User pastes MS Word formatted text into form field. 2: Server uses mail() to send input text to mail client. 3: Recipient pastes text into html file. The problem is that MS Word contains peculiar characters for things like bullets, which come out as tabs, which then come out as different, but spurious, html characters in the html translation. Does anyone know of a function(s) that can clean up MS Word input into something that can be simply pasted as plain text without spurious characters?

Multi-word Query
I'm trying to figure out how to search a "key_words" column, that contain key words (obviously) for that row. An example of what one of the key_words contains is: "home interior decorating". I can search for "home interior" or "interior decorating" and it will return the correct row, but if I search for "interior home" or "home decorating" I get nothing. I need it to return any row with ALL of those words in any order. I am using WHERE LIKE '%search%'. I have done some searching, but was never quite sure what to really search for. Is there an easy way around this or can someone point me in the right direction?
Unordered Word Search
I've built a search engine that queries a MySQL database. However, if I enter "foo bar", the engine will search for that phrase exactly, and will not find "bar foo" nor "foo something bar". How do you separate words so that the engine finds them individually? I'm thinking something like $tokenized = strtok($query, " ") mysql_query(" SELECT ... FROM ... while(...){ WHERE ...} ")
Word Processing Function
i've been wanting to design a simple for that allows users to input data and then allows me to seperate the data into individual words so that i can seperate last name and first name and with java i could use the tokenizer class but am unsure if there is a similar PHP function in its library, could anyone help me out?
Add Content To Word Or Pdf File Using Php

Please, reply by personal email if possible
Creating A MS Word Document
What i'm trying to do is create a new word document using php, which has a table layout and then put data into the cells in the table.

Attaching A Word Document
Guys, i have the following code i am using to attach files to an email. It works and does do the attaching, all MS Word documents i attach do not open as they are.
