Convert MS Word / Rtf / ... To Plain Text
i'm looking for standalone libraries that convert documents to plain text so i can let people edit the text in a textarea after uploading. One thing to notice is that i can not use COM because i can't configure the webserver. Does anyone has interesting classes that are able to do this. I found a PHP class for ms word documents at http://obninsk.name/obninsk_doc/ but that doesn't work at all for my word documents.

Finding A Key Word In A Text File
I would like to find a word stored in a text file. Structure: I have one file named keyWords.txt that stores some key words I'm interested in finding. In addition I also have a file named textOrigin.txt in which I store the text to search in. I would like my prog to check if a certain word appears in the text and than to tell me what line it found it in (if it did...). My problem is that the script can't find the words I'm looking for. I took one word from the word list and put it into the text file to be searched, for some reason this word is not found by the prog. I used 'enter' at the end of each line. The word being used is on line 3 in the keyWords.txt file. I have some reason to belive that the reason lie here: if ($pos) { echo " line $i: $storeWord[$n] "; } I also tried it with if (!$pos === FALSE) {...} but nothing there either... the keyWords.txt file: ------------------------------- Recording Site Recording Type INTRA SUA ................

i've hit a wall regarding php and ms word. what i want is to open a document containing bookmarks, insert text where the bookmarks are, and save. it's working, unless the bookmark is in the header part of the page (re header/ footer). in that case i get an error saying the bookmark wasn't found/ doesn't exist. anyone got any tip on how to get into the header part of a word document using php? the following, simple code works when bookmark is in the main part of document: $empty = new VARIANT(); $word = new COM("word.application") or die ("some explanation"); $word->Documents->Open("C:PathDocument with bookmark.doc"); $word->Selection->GoTo(wdGoToBookmark, $empty, $empty, "bookmark"); $word->Selection->TypeText("text to be inserted"); $word->Documents[1]->SaveAs("C:Pathwith inserted text.doc"); $word->Quit(); $word = null;

I dont want a random number generator because I want to make it so when you enter the same name twice you get the same result.

How To Convert Ascii To Text
I replace some user input with their ascii equivalent so they display on the webpage properly: $entry = preg_replace ( "/'+/" , ''' , $entry); $entry = preg_replace ( "/,+/" , ',' , $entry); I then need to email the data, however in email the ascii code is displayed, not the text. Is there an easier way to convert the ascii back to the text without another preg_replace?
Full Text Search In PDF And Word Files ?
I need to perform full text searches on a batch of PDF and Word files. What is the best way to go? After some research, I'm thinking of extracting the plain text from the files with "pdftotext" and "catdoc", hamonizing the various possible encodings to UTF-8, storing the text in a MySQL database, and then using the full text search capabilities of MySQL. Do you think that would work well? I am told that the files are mostly text and won't be longer than 30 pages.

Convert Text From Database For HTML
I'm pulling text from a database (MySQL) and I'm using the nl2br () function to convert the line breaks DESCRIPTION="<?php echo nl2br($row_rsttheJobResults['description']); ?>" This creates the following example "A new line will be created soon < 'br' > and here it is." However the website that receives this cannot accept the characters < and > So I want to convert this "< br >" into this "<p>" Could anybody help me add to the nl2br () function to convert the < br > tags? * the spaces between the < and br are there because they won't show in the message otherwise

How Convert Http:// Text To Real Hyperlink?
I have some texts in MySQL databases. When I show this texts in webpages using PHP, I need to convert every ocurrence of http://blablabla.com to <a href='http://blablabla.com'>http://blablabla.com</a> , so my text will really became 'active'.

Gaining Access To How MySql Parses Text For Full Text
I want to gain access to the function or process MySql uses to parse words and phrases for Full Text searching. Here is an example. If the user inputs... Milan in history MySql will search for milan, history, and milan history. Is there a way to extract just the combination of terms MySql uses to search the db without the stop words? Stop words are automatically eliminated from the search request unless the user encloses a phrase in quotes. What I am trying to do is develop a script to highlight found search terms and phrases. I can explode a phrase into single words but if I do that the stop words would be included in the array. If there is some way of getting into the parsed words or phrases MySql Full Text actually uses to search, I can use each of those combinations as a keyword in my highlighting script. This request is about searching for the code or any code related to the questions involved.
Text Area Not Accepting Large Amounts Of Text
I have a form where teachers enter homework assignments and they are then stored in a MYSQL database and retrieved elsewhere. I have been using "get" with the form. The code is simple: <textarea name="array[assignment]" cols="60" rows="10" id="array[assignment]"></textarea> It does allow post of 100 words, etc. Stuff that teachers normally submit. What's happening is that it won't allow very large posts (over 300 words maybe? ) Not sure what the cut off is. When you press submit it won't go, or there is an error where it won't submit. Is there a limit for text fields? Since the fields scroll, I didn't think that having only 60 rows was any type of real limit, I though you could put in as much as needed. But then all of it ends up in the address bar, so there must be a limit of some sort.
Read And Display Japanese Text From Text File
I posted a question regarding reading japanese text from a text file. Well, since I solved the problem, I thought I'd post my solution for the benefit of other people with the same problem. The plan was to make a script to read and display japanese text. I will use it for making a japanese proverb script and for a japanese language study script. Method : I wrote a simple kanji text file (saved with UTF-8 encoding) I wrote a simple PHP script to display the file contents (saved with UTF-8 encoding) I specified the content-type header for the HTML page : <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> *** All files have the same encoding. *** UTF-8 supports japanese characters. and it works! this is my PHP (and HTML) script : <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> <title>PHP : Japanese Text File Read : Exercise 1</title> </head> <body> <?php $filename="japanese.txt"; //open file $fp = fopen($filename,'r'); //loop through each line in the file while($line=fgets($fp)) { //output current text file line print $line."<br>"; } //close file handle fclose($fp); ?> </body> </html> I know it's a very simple script, for testing purposes only. It displays the contents of the japanese text file line by line. The key was to save all files in the same encoding (I used UTF-8) and to specify the encoding / charset in the HTML header (<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">)
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 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).
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
I need to create preview-images from MS Word documents using PHP. Any Idea how I could accomplish this?
,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.
Append Text At End Of Existing Text On Same Line
I'm working on a part of my web site that uploads images, then writes the name of the image to a text file. The upload part works fine. The part that writes the name of the image to the text file works fine. What I'm trying to do is, after all the files have been uploaded and all of the image names have been written to the WriteTo.txt file, append a written description of the picture at the end of the picture name. In other words, after a user uploads their pictures to the server I want to direct them to a page where they can label each of the pictures using a form. PHP Code:

PHP - Using Mail() And Unicode Text - Text Gets Disturbed
I have the following problem. On a website there's a (simple) feedback form. This is used also by Polish visitors who (of course) type Polish text using special characters. However, when I receive the text in my mailbox, all special characters have been turned into mess...... For example: "wspólprace" is turned into "współprace". It seems PHP is handling the Unicode-8 strings quite well (when I 'echo' the strings on the site, I see the text correctly), until the point that it is send by using mail(). Is this a server configuration issue? Or something else? How can I get my text to remain in Unicode? I have this problem both on my testserver (Apache 1.3.28, PHP 4.3.2 on Windows XP) as on my providers server (Apache under Linux).
Remove Text Header In Text File
I have been having trouble removeing two header lines at the top of my txt file. You will see in my code the different things I have tried but with no luck. Below I posted my script and data. I am doing a few other things in my script as you will notice but this is the only thing I am having troble with. Code:
Parsing Text - Capture Text Between Two Tags
I want to have text in files, such as {body} {/body} and then be able to open that file and grab all of the data inbetween those tags. I could open the file and go through it until I see the {body} tag and then store data until I reach {/body} but that is a bad way to do it.
Text Returned From DB Gets Cutoff When Placed In A Text Field
I have a string that contains an apostrophe or a quotation mark, stored in a DB. I can retrieve the data, and display it properly (for editing) in a textarea, but when I try to put the string in a text field, it get's cut off right before the questionable character. For example: $string_in_database = "John's car." -displays correctly here <textarea><?php print $string_in_database ?></textarea> and displays this - John's car. -gets cutoff here <input type='text' value=''<?php print $string_in_database ?>' /> and displays this - John I've tried adding slashes and stripping slashes and I just can't figure out what I need to do.
Keep Text In Text Boxes After Form Is Rewritten
I'm trying to make a form that does the following: (1) the user answers a question by typing in a text box (2) a response is then written below the form, saying whether the answer is right or wrong and, perhaps making a comment of some kind (3) the user's answer remains visible in the original text box I've managed to write some code that does the first two things, but despite many attempts and much searching for code examples, I've failed to find a way of getting the answer to reappear in the text box when the page is rewritten. This is my code:
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.
