[PHP] Dynamic Document Creation
Hello, Does anyone have any scripts or know a location to point me to where I can dynamically create Microsoft Word documents using PHP. I need to create some nicely formatted forms. I could do this as text, however, this solution is not perfect because I don't know of an escape sequence for creating a new page. I cannot do this using PDF because it's not installed on the servers I am using. I could possibly do this in other formats if you know of any solutions.

Re: [PHP] Dynamic Document Creation
It's from manual do not remember it's chapter exactly:
// starting word
$word = new COM(word.application) or die(Unable to instanciate Word);
print Loaded Word, version {$word-Version}\n;
//bring it to front
$word-Visible = 1;
//open an empty document
$word-Documents-Add();
//do some weird stuff
$word-Selection-TypeText(This is a test...);
$word-Documents[1]-SaveAs(Useless test.doc);
//closing word
$word-Quit();
//free the object
$word-Release();
$word = null;
//--

So you can develop this example into powerful tool for generating Word %(
Documents. I advise you to find MS Word DOM Handbook to make your task
easier...

You said you wanted to create some nicely formatted forms -- what's wrong with HTML and style sheets? Assuming you have some control over your end users' browsers, you should be able to create a well-formatted, easy-to-use HTML form no problem. Otherwise, I'd look at LaTeX or maybe DocBook format. --kurt -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [PHP] Dynamic Document Creation
Wheee! Sounds like fun. If you're headed for the latest version of Word (XP), XML would be the way to go. I would expect specs available at either StarOffice (Open Office) or MSFT. There's also nice formatting with HTML.

Re: [PHP] Dynamic Document Creation
Thank you, Valentin. Your solution sounds like the one I am looking
for!
It's from manual do not remember it's chapter exactly:
// starting word
$word = new COM(word.application) or die(Unable to instanciate
Word);
print Loaded Word, version {$word-Version}\n;
//bring it to front
$word-Visible = 1;
//open an empty document
$word-Documents-Add();
//do some weird stuff
$word-Selection-TypeText(This is a test...);
$word-Documents[1]-SaveAs(Useless test.doc);
//closing word
$word-Quit();
//free the object
$word-Release();
$word = null;
