[PHP] [PHP-GENERAL] Serving docs from PHP

[Alex James]

Beginner to PHP so I guess this could be a really simple answer.

I have a page linking to a ms word doc however the doc doesn't open
up in word within the sectioned part of the  browser but displays a load of
gobble e.g.. 
ÐÏࡱá  þ   
   L  N   
   þÿÿÿK   ÿÿÿì¥Á 7
`  `  `    ~  «   «   «          
         

I can open a word doc in the browser from a html page just not a PHP file. 
I 've checked the Apache httpd conf file and the mine types which are fine
But I think I missing something in the PHP conf files.

Thanks for any help.

 Your php page has a link to the word document like this

and getting called in here in index.php

 On the page that you're trying to serve the Micro$oft Document 
 (index.php), you're going to have to include the content type in the 
 header, something like...

 header ( Content-type: application/msword );
 See here...

Thanks John for your reply.

I have tried putting a header before the html tag unfortunately all
this does is output index.php in ms word format within the browser.

As you've seen with some of the code supplied I want to simulate how 
a frameset works. So the sidebar (or menu=m) stays the same with the 
area defined for content changing upon menu options. 

However how can I open a word doc from a normal HTML file on 
apache and I can't with a PHP file ?

 Okay, if you're going to include a MSWord document in a normal HTML 
 file, how do you do thatwhat's your code to do it?

Ah...good point. Thought It would work like a frame. But now
thinking about it I'm trying to embed a word doc in the html
and guess because I not using some object or activeX 
control it won't work. 

Right I'm going to save the word docs as txt files and include ?

Thanks
