I am using windows 7 operating system, and i have the latest version of php as
seen in xampp PHP/5.3.5. I tried to create a word document using COM but got
the error below
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'com_exception' with message 'Failed to create
COM object `word.application': Server execution failed ' in
C:\xampp\htdocs\Snigdha_new1\Testing\testfile.php:33 Stack trace: #0
C:\xampp\htdocs\Snigdha_new1\Testing\testfile.php(33):
com->com('word.applicatio...') #1 {main} thrown in
C:\xampp\htdocs\Snigdha_new1\Testing\testfile.php on line 33
I used the as below
// htmlviewer.php
// convert a Word doc to an HTML file
//$DocumentPath = str_replace("\\", "\\", $DocumentPath);
$DocumentPath="../upload/gaurav_cv.rtf";
// create an instance of the Word application
$word = new COM("word.application") or die("Unable to instantiate
application object");
// creating an instance of the Word Document object
$wordDocument = new COM("word.document") or die("Unable to instantiate
document object");
$word->Visible = 0;
// open up an empty document
$wordDocument = $word->Documents->Open($DocumentPath);
// create the filename for the HTML version
$HTMLPath = substr_replace($DocumentPath, 'txt', -3, 3);
// save the document as HTML
$wordDocument=$word->Documents->SaveAs($HTMLPath, 3);
// clean up
$wordDocument = null;
$word->Quit();
$word = null;
// redirect the browser to the newly-created document header("Location:".
$HTMLPath);
header("Location:". $HTMLPath);
?>

Acknowledged that the above solution works fine in Vista.
But there is a new error message when I tried:
$doc=$word->Documents->Add();
it says:
Word is unable to trigger event.
I have Office 2003 installed. I guess it is due to the Add method is not the
corrrect method name. Any hints?

Here is a possible solution:
Verify that the user has the appropriate permissions to start the DCOM server.
1. In the Control Panel, double-click Administrative Tools, and then
double-click Component Services.
2. In the Component Services snap-in, expand Computers, expand My Computer, and
double-click DCOM Config.
3. In the right pane, locate the program you are trying to create.
4. Right-click the program name, and then select Properties. On the Security
tab, in the Launch and Activation Permissions group box, select Customize, and
then click Edit.
5. Add the user (e.g. running the IIS server) to the permissions list, and give
the user the appropriate permissions.
That should do it.
