[PHP] SOAP problem
Hi,
My first post for several years. Using PHP 5.2.6 on Debian.
I'm trying to connect to an external SOAP server where no WSDL file exists.
I've been unsuccessful in getting a response which I've put down to the message
being sent.
My code is:
$params = array(
'RequestSystem' =>
'PackTrackerTest',
'SenderName' => 'George',
'MessageId'=> '1234'
);
$client = new SoapClient(null, array(
'soap_version' => 'SOAP_1_2',
'location' => "XX",
'uri' => "XX",
'trace'=> TRUE, ));
$result =
$client->__soapCall("GetReferenceData",array("GetReferenceData"=>$params));
Which generates the following message:
http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";
xmlns:ns1="http://";
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
xmlns:ns2="http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap";
xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/";
SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/";>
RequestSystem
PackTrackerTest
SenderName
George
MessageId
1234
The SOAP server is expecting to get something like:
http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope";
xmlns:v1="">
PackTrackerTest
George
1024
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can format my xml message
accordingly?

[PHP] OT Smarty problem
Hi,
Apologies for posting this here but coudn't find a decent Smarty list.
I've been using Smarty for 4 years without much problem. I'm adding some
extra functionality to a page used by 2 members of staff. My snippets of
relevant code are:
$smarty->assign('clearance', $clearbits['clearance_alt']);
Clearance {$clearance}
Select
Yes
No
Failed
You will see that I have called the variable in the first column. On the web
page, this displays as "Clearance 1". I would then expect 'Yes' to appear
selected in the column three drop-down box. Unfortunately, this displays as
'Select'.
I have tried deleting all the cached template files as well as single and
double quotes around the 0,1,2,3 values, all to no avail.
All the other Smarty stuff seems to be working on the site.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Cheers
George in wet and windy Edinburgh
[PHP] Anyone using clsMsDocGenerator?
Hi, If anyone is using clsMsDocGenerator to produce MSWord files without using COM, I have a just one question (I tried the PHPClasses forum, but couldn't get my forum post in). How do you remove borders from tables? I am preformatting a html string with att the data going into the document, including tables, but they always show a fine border, even though border is set to 0 in my formatting. Any suggestions?

I'm far from being an expert, and often see more efficient ways of doing
things (more efficient tham my own methods). Howevr, I've just been dealing
with a similar problem.
I have a functions file with over 400 functions (and that may be too many -
but it works). I've been adding some error reporting in to my PEAR::DB
queries, but wanted to know which page triggered the function. I went
theough my php pages and gane each one a $pg variable at the start
containing the bare name of the file, eg 'home' rather than 'home.php'. I
then went to each function containing either a DB query (ore one which calls
another DB-related function. I did a global search and replace for the
function name 'func(' replaced by 'func($pg,'. I use Dreamweaver so this was
fairly straightforward.
It worked for me, but now someone is about to show me a quicker, cleaner
way, aren't they?
Cheers, and seasonal greetings from Oxford/Edinburgh

ini_set() returns the old value, so it might work if you assign the return
value:
$x = ini_set('memory_limit', '64M');

Tried these but it doesn't stop the actual email envelope from using the
sendmail_from tag as the Return-path.
Did some testing and putting ini_set('sendmail_from', $useremail) just ahead
of the $mail->send() command did the trick. It may be that it needs to have
the headers set correctly to work, as I had tried this setting change in the
past unsuccessfully.
Anyway, another small problem removed from my list.
Thanks to all who chipped in on this one.

[PHP] Emailing dilemma
Hi,
I have almost 30 websites that use PEAR::Mail to send emails on behalf of
users at universities (one site for each) to lecturers at the same
university.
The problem I have is that if a lecturer sets an 'Out of Office' status, it
gets bounced back to my server instead of to the user at the university.
I did have the 'From' set to the user's email address, but that wasn't very
successful ats it caused problems with the universities' anti-spam systems.
I've tried using ini_set('sendmail_from',$useremail); but that doesn't seem
to work either.
Can anyone point me in the right direction, please?
Cheers

Someone please tell me there is! I've been a Filemaker user (and had some Lasso and Frontier driven sites once). I still use it for some personal stuff.

[PHP] WinSCP and PHP
Hi, I run specialised websites on my NT server on behalf of some universities. These sites offer processes to librarians (mainly) enabling them to order services from my company as well as doing some processes themselves. The processes involve handling PDF files, and I've done all the PDF-building-scripts etc that they need. I would now like to extend the services, allowing users more interactivity with their own filesystems - checking that PDFs are in the right place, being able to put them in the right place and removing them when the licencing says they must be removed - etc etc. By testing, I know that I can do this using PHP's ftp functions, but when I visited one of my main customers recently, they said they would prefer me to use SCP. I've found WinSCP (as it will need to run on the NT box) but am stumped as to how I can use it with PHP to offer equivalent (or even close) functionality to PHP's ftp function. Does anyone have any experience of using SCP/WinSCP as part of a PHP application, and if so, could they help me on to the next stage please?

[PHP] running exec() on client
Hi, I am looking for a solution to a server problem. I am part of a 2-person team - I look after document scanning, OCR (by outside agencies) as well as all development. My colleague is responsible for obtaining copyright permission from publishers (for what I do). Part of her process is sending emails to publishers with Word attachments. These are presently being generated by PHP on our NT server,but recently the process has started to slow down the server to the point of uselessness. I'm looking for an alternative way to do this. My colleague has rejected text file attachments as looking unprofessional. I would like to find a way of generating these files without actually needing to use COM, or winword on the server. We looked at RTF templates but found the filesize too great. One option I am considering is installing PHP on her PC and doing the letter generation locally, but don't know how I'm going to trigger it esp as our IT person has said I can't install Apache. Doe anyone have any suggestions? Cheers George, an Englishman abroad in sunny Edinburgh -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Please elaborate? > If I paste your code (from your web-page example), into a new php file, I get 160.44. However, replacing my existing code with the example code into the page that is to do the work, I get 160.00. To simplify things, I've now done the following in the new php file and then on my page: $fee = 160.44; echo "fee: ".$fee.""; $fee2 = $fee + 0.00; echo "fee2: ".$fee2.""; I get 160.44 on the standalone page and 160.00 on my web page. I am using PHP5.1 with Smarty templates on my page (but not on the standalone page). Smarty doesn't offer anything other than the sprintf() options for string formatting of decimal numbers, and I'm already doing that. Do you think Smarty could be so unsmart as to undo the formatting? As another test, I did settype($fee2, "float")then the gettype($fee2) and got 'float' on the standalone page and NULL on my Smarty page. Truly stumped!

Hi,
Yes, I am echoing the 160.44 ok. I'm just not getting the 44c in my display

[PHP] Problem with wanting something NOT to round
Hi,
As part of a result from a web-service call, I get a price in dollars and
cents as a decimal number eg.160.44 (the example I am working on. This
price is for permission to re-use some published material and for each
additional separate pagerange, $3 needs to be added afterwards.
So I have the following code in my script:
$range = explode(",",$pr);
$rangecounter = count($range);
$rangecounter = ($rangecounter>1?$rangecounter-1:0);
$ccc_supp = floatval($rangecounter * 3);
$fee2 = floatval($fee + $ccc_supp);
echo sprintf("%01.2f",$fee2);
$pr is my pagerange which, in this case is 9-24, generates a rangecounter of
1, so does not get any additional $3 added.
My echo produces 160, instead of the 160.44 which I want.
Can anyone point me in the direction of a solution?

RE: [PHP] templating
Ryan,
I would still recommend Smarty.
It can be as big as you like, but it can also be very simple to set up and
maintain. It has the features should your friend decide to expand his usage
in the future. If you opt now for something with limited features and later
decide to step beyond them, you'll be faced with making another major change
then.
Just my 2p worth.

[PHP] file_exists() behind firewall
Hi, I have several websites that are using a common set of pages (to reduce maintenance, development and upgrading) and use configuration files to give the customer the feeling that it is their own unique site. The customers are all universities and use the sites to manage digitisation and copyright permission processes. These sites are all hosted om my company server. I would like them to be able to see whether a PDF file hosted by their universities is available or not. Using file_exists($url) won't work because the actual PDFs should be sitting behind the universities' firewalls. I think that something working on the client-side, such as JavaScript might work, because it would be able to look from the client's machine to the PDF, both of which should be behind the firewall to the PDF. However, I haven't been able to find any js that looks like it will do that for me. Does anyone have any constructive suggestions?

[PHP] Slow query-building function
Hi,
Last year I switched from using FileMaker Pro to MySQL. One of FileMaker's
quirks was that if, in a text field, you searched for say, 'free ass boo',
it would find any records with those three substrings in that field (in this
example, its 'Free Association Books').
I want to have this quirkiness on my site, along with the option of adding +
or ! before substrings.
I've got it working using the following function:
function sql_fltr($sql,$field,$input){
$input = addslashes($input);
if(strlen($input)>0){
if(substr_count($input,"*")>0 || substr_count($input,"!")>0 ||
substr_count($input,"^")>0 || substr_count($input,"+")>0){
$output="";
/* search for substring conditions */
$tempy = str_replace(" +","|+",str_replace(" !","|!",str_replace("
*","|*",str_replace(" ^","|^",($input);
$temp = explode("|",$tempy);
$i=0;
while($i < sizeof($temp)){
if(substr($temp[$i],0,1)=="*"){
$temp[$i]=" and ".$field." LIKE
'%".strim(str_replace("*","",$temp[$i]))."%'";
$output.= $temp[$i]."|";
}elseif(substr($temp[$i],0,1)=="!"){
$temp[$i]=" and ".$field." NOT LIKE
'%".strim(str_replace("!","",$temp[$i]))."%'";
$output.= $temp[$i]."|";
}elseif(substr($temp[$i],0,1)=="+"){
$temp[$i]=" and ".$field." LIKE
'%".strim(str_replace("+","",$temp[$i]))."%'";
$output.= $temp[$i]."|";
}else{
$temp[$i]="and ".$field." LIKE '%".strim($temp[$i])."%'";
$output.= $temp[$i]."|";
}
$i++;
}
$output = strim(substr($output,0,strlen($output)-1));
if(substr(strtolower(strim($output)),0,3)=='and'){
$output = str_replace("|"," ",$output);
} else {
$output = substr($output,4,strlen($output)-1);
}
/* search for whole string conditions */
} elseif(substr($input,0,1)=="*"){
$output=$field." LIKE '%".strim(str_replace("*","",$input))."%'";
} elseif(substr($input,0,1)=="!"){
$output=$field." NOT LIKE '%".strim(str_replace("!","",$input))."%'";
} elseif(substr($input,0,1)=="="){
$output=$field."='".strim(str_replace("=","",$input))."'";
} else {
$input = str_replace(" ","|",$input);
$output ="";
/* search for all substrings */
if(substr_count($input,"|")>0){
$temp = explode("|",$input);
$d=0;
while($d < sizeof($temp)){
$temp[$d]=" and ".$field." LIKE '%".rtrim($temp[$d])."%'";
$output.= $temp[$d]."|";
$d++;
}
} else {
$output=$field." LIKE '%".rtrim(str_replace("|", " ",$temp))."%'";
}
}
} else {
$output="";
}
if(substr(strtolower(strim($output)),0,3)=='and'){
$query = str_replace("|"," ",$output);
} else {
$query = substr($output,4,strlen($output)-1);
}
$output = str_replace("|"," ",$query);
return str_replace("and and","and",$output);
}
For info the strim() function combines ltrim() and rtrim().
My usage example is:
$sqlp = "select supplier_id from suppliers where (supplier_id>0 ";
$sqlp.= sql_fltr($sqlp, 'imprint', $pubname);
$sqlp.=")";
echo "".$sqlp."";
I just add extra sql_fltr() lines for additional fields.
The main problem with this function is that takes 12 seconds on my XP
laptop, to build the query (I'm not even hitting the DB, but pasting that
into my DB front end gives a quick result.
I'm running PHP5.1RC on the laptop (PHP5.0.2 on my server) - both with
Apache 2.
Can anyone suggest a solution that will improve performance while retaining
the functionality?

However, where my php.ini has: 'include_path = ".:/php/includes:/usr/lib/php/pear"', phpinfo shows the include_path as being '/usr/lib/php' which doesn't exist. Can anyone tell me how do I get my php to use the correct include_path? MTIA George in Oxford -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
RE: [PHP] Limitation on PEAR : Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer
Does your text get truncated or turned into hash '#' signs? I know that Excel has some limits regarding how many characters will go into a text column. There is also a 64k row limit as well, but most sane people wouldn't use a spreadsheet to handle such a dataset. George > -Original Message- > From: Kristen G.

[PHP] problem encountered with stristr-based function
Hi,
I'm having a problem with the following function:
function terms($term,$field){
if(strlen($term)>0){
if(!stristr($term, $field) === FALSE) {
$output = str_replace($term, "".$term."", $field);
} elseif(!stristr(strtolower($term), $field) === FALSE) {
$output = str_replace(strtolower($term),
"".strtolower($term)."", $field);
} elseif(!stristr(strtoupper($term), $field) === FALSE) {
$output = str_replace(strtoupper($term),
"".strtoupper($term)."", $field);
} elseif(!stristr(ucfirst($term), $field) === FALSE) {
$output = str_replace(ucfirst($term), "".ucfirst($term)."",
$field);
}
} else {
$output = $field;
}
return $output;
}
I'm not comfortable enough with regex etc, so tried it my way, but no joy.
For info, I am trying to highlight search terms in results.
Any suggestions?

Mathijs wrote: > Is there a way to have include() be case-insensitive? If you are know that all your file and directory names are lower case, but users may input mixed case responses that will be used to determine the include, you can set the case of the user input to lower case with strtolower(). Or strtoupper() - the choice is yours. If you have been a bit careless in naming your directories or filenames, then I'd do some site maintenance and get that sorted first.

RE: [PHP] Validating Email addrs
I grabbed the following from a web-published article (sorry, can't remember
where):
function validate_email($email) {
if(preg_match("/^( [a-zA-Z0-9] )+( [a-zA-Z0-9\._-] )*@( [a-zA-Z0-9_-]
)+(
\.[a-zA-Z0-9_-] +)+$/" , $email)){
list($username,$domain)=split('@',$email);
if(!customCheckDnsrr($domain)){
$valid = 0;
} else {
$valid = 1;
}
} else {
$valid = 0;
}
return $valid;
}
function customCheckDnsrr($host,$recType='') {
if(!empty($host)) {
if($recType=='') $recType="MX";
exec("nslookup -type=$recType $host",$output);
foreach($output as $line) {
if(preg_match("/^$host/", $line)) {
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
return false;
}
I think this covers a windows server (like mine), but there is a shorter one
for Linux (which I'm moving to in the near future).
Never tested this, so can't comment on usefulness.

RE: [PHP] Problem reading SimpleXML array NOT SOLVED but NO LONGER A PROBLEM
Hi,
Got round the problem by doing this instead:
$param = array(
'country1' => 'uk',
'country2' => 'usa'
);
$wsdl="http://www.xmethods.net/sd/2001/CurrencyExchangeService.wsdl";;
$curr_client = new nusoapclient($wsdl, 'wsdl');
$rate = $curr_client->call('getRate' ,$param);
The ends justified the means, though I am still using SimpleXML to parse my
Copyright Clearance Center processes.

If I'm not mistaken, you also need to be sure that you are writing your
script to html/display and not redirecting to another page after the cookie
has been set - as redirecting will not write the cookie.

[PHP] Problem with new extension
Hi, I think that I may have messed up my php (v5.0.1). Earlier today, I downloaded the most recent extensions and replaced my php_pdf.dll (aug 2004)with the most recent (Mar 2005) - set the permissions to be the same as the other extensions - then restarted the machine. I'm now getting an error: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'C:\PHP\ext\php_pdf.dll' - The specified procedure could not be found. I'm on WinXP Pro SP2 and used the pdf extension quite a bit - but it didn't cover things such as 'PDF_create_textflow'.

[PHP] Advice sought on PHP site maintenance
Hi, I manage several sites for my company. Some are running our own service to about 80 customers and others are running a service for some (5 and growing) of our customers. Its the latter one that I need advice on. I have an application where each customer has a website on our service. The functionality and layout are almost identical throughout these sites and I am striving to move any differences into configuration files. However, when I make a change, I then need to make that change on each site. I would like, if possible to maintain a single set of web pages and have that work for all sites. I currently use PEAR::DB and Smarty templating. The current url syntax is www.mysite.com/client/ and I would like to keep them thinking that they each have their own unique site. Can anyone suggest a structure for this? MTIA George in Oxford -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I can speak form experience here, not PHP as this is such a wonderful community, but Lasso. I used Lasso v3 from 2001-2005, hooking a FileMaker solution to the web for a relatively small but complex UK-wide university service and didn't need to upgrade to v5 when that rolled out (it wasn't broke etc etc). As I developed the PHP/MySQL solution that has now replaced it, I still needed to maintain and improve the existing Lasso site. I found that I was one of the only v3 users on the list and started getting nil responses to pleas for help. If you have the time, it's worth going with the flow, if not, then consider jumping at say - every two years (at most) to keep up to date.

RE: [PHP] Restarting windows from php
Just out of interest, how is the restart going to authenticate itself to get
up and running?
I used to do something like this between two servers - but the were Macs and
I was using Frontier and it did work, but not without the odd mishap.
If you just want to do it remotely (without recourse to PHP), look at VNC.

[PHP] cURL - is it best for me?
Hi, My main site allows authenticated users to insert bibliographic data into our database. We ask them to start by putting in an ISBN or ISSN. Some documentes don't have them, or the use is too lazy to look for them. Rather than them entering jibberish, we first check that if they have entered something - that its mathematically correct (there's a algorithm to check these). Where they don't know the ISBN/ISSN, I would like them to enter their document title and then get my system to check the UK's main library biblio service (COPAC) and see if the title exists on their db. I've set up a simple cURL test which queries the COPAC site and displays the page as if it was from my site (not quite what I wanted - I'd rather have a list of ISBN/ISSNs and their associated titles without all the baggage). So my questions are: Is there a way for me to (using cURL) ask COPAC how many records match the search and if >0, return the data in a way that I can use it as I wish? If not, is there another tool that I should be using?

Well guys, thanks for the feedback. Firstly, I am on Windows, and my server runs on NT4. I have no say on that - company policy.

[PHP] Building multi-page Word docs with PHP?
Hi, I currently create my multipage docs by saving my word templates as chunks of rtf and then calling them as required as a very long string then outputting them to an rtf file and renaming it as '*.doc'. It works great except for the filesize which comes out at 900k for a two-page document. Opening in Word and saving reduces the file down dramatically, but that would prevent auto-generation and emailing - without human intervention. Does anyone know how to either create multipage docs in Word format to begin with, or to convert (on the fly) rtf to doc, or to save rtf as smaller file?

[PHP] pointing to localhost from remote server
Hi, I have a system running on my main server containg separate user and staff interfaces to the same MySQL databases. Part of my process involves spawning off pdf front covers to a local directory, grabbing files from an archive on a networked pc and adding them together to ftp back to the server (which, incidentally is 70 miles away). My own machine runs IIS5/PHP5 and the Java classes to do the pdf joining. I have a link on a server mounted page that opens the localhost page and successfully prints off the pdf covers. However, on completion, the popup disappears and I then get a 'file open/save' dialog box which, if I 'open' tries to open the php file in Dreamweaver (my chosen IDE). What should happen is that on completion, a smarty template should be opened. Has anyone experienced something similar or is there a solution?

RE: [PHP] zipfile problems - SOLVED
Hi all,
I found the cause of the problem.

02 $zipfile -> add_dir("dir/");
03 $inputpath = "C:\\Program Files\\Apache
04 Group\\Apache2\\htdocs\\egretgui\\includes\\invoices\\";
05 $outputpath = "C:\\";
06 $outfile = $outputpath."inv_".date("Y_m").".zip";
07 if ($handle = opendir($inputpath)) {
08 while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))){
09 $fn = explode(".",$file);
10 if ($fn[1]=="pdf"){
11 echo $inputpath.$file."";
12 $handle = fopen($inputpath.$file,"r");
13 $filedata = fread($handle, filesize($inputpath.$file));
14 $zipfile -> add_file($filedata, "dir/".$file);
15 }
16 }
17 }
18 $fd = fopen ($outfile, "wb");
19 $out = fwrite ($fd, $zipfile -> file());
10 fclose ($fd);
It was the re-use of the variable '$handle' on line 12. I've now changed
that (and its uses) to '$handle2' and the problem has been solved.
Thanks to all for their suggestions.

Ken,
Thanks, but I did explain the problem. The zipfile contains only one of the
pdf files instead of the four that the script creates:
The actual script looks like this (just the zip bit):
==
$zipfile = new zipfile();
$zipfile -> add_dir("dir/");
$inputpath = "C:\\Program Files\\Apache
Group\\Apache2\\htdocs\\egretgui\\includes\\invoices\\";
$outputpath = "C:\\";
$outfile = $outputpath."inv_".date("Y_m").".zip";
if ($handle = opendir($inputpath)) {
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))){
$fn = explode(".",$file);
if ($fn[1]=="pdf"){
echo $inputpath.$file."";
$handle = fopen($inputpath.$file,"r");
$filedata = fread($handle, filesize($inputpath.$file));
$zipfile -> add_file($filedata, "dir/".$file);
}
}
}
$fd = fopen ($outfile, "wb");
$out = fwrite ($fd, $zipfile -> file());

RE: [PHP] arguments against moving site from Linux/Apache/PHP server to Windows/IIS/PHP needed

I'm out of a job here if this is true as I'm doing quite a bit of PHP development on NT/IIS with both MySQL and MS Access (not my choice, but a clients). I'm quite happy with NT but I'll be switching over to Linux later in the year - company policy to gradually move away from Win to Linux for servers. I'd look at security as the main argument.

RE: [PHP] retrieving form checkbox values
Here's my register globals off version:
Make sure that your form send a post with the highest index value [howmany].
$howmany=$_POST['howmany'];
for ($index = 1; $index < $howmany; $index++){
$checkbox = 'checkbox'.$index;
$checkbox= $_POST[$checkbox];
... Repeat for your other row-level form inputs ...
Do something with the data...
}
Hope this helps

RE: [PHP] Frustrating problem with log-in script - DOHHH - Solved
Sorry guys, I wasted your time if you looked at this. The local.php as copied from my local machine and had 'localhost' as the base url rather than the proper web address. Meet Dumbererer! George -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Frustrating problem with log-in script
Hi, I' running a self-registration script. On the login page are 2 fields: 'username' and 'paswd'. The contents are checked against a db. New users must enter 'new' and 'user' into these fields and that will skip the db check and dump them into a registration page. On testing (after it worked fine last week) I find that new/user dumps me back into the login page (home.html). The code is ... Any suggestions? This is running on Win NT.

RE: [PHP] Setting Cookie Going Nuts
Mike,
Just a thought - are you outputting any HTML on the page where you are
declaring your cookie?
If not, then it won't work.
I got stuck a few months back with a filter script where someone logs in and
depending on who they were were redirected to various pages. I was decalring
their cookies in the redirect script and it didn't work until I started
doing in on a 'written' page.
Hope this solves your problem.
Cheers

[PHP] OT a lttle bit of Javascript needed
Hi, I'm developing a mini-website for a customer and want to build a link so that there is the option to see what I have in a database on my site. It will feature in a form and when they fill in the ISBN field, their input is added to a URL link on that page. The user can click on the link and see what I have for that ISBN. I've searched Google with only confusion as a result. Can anyone here help me?

RE: [PHP] Re: generate word docs
RTF is the way to go. If you know what you want your word doc to look like, set it up in Word, or whatever will save a formatted rtf file (Sorry, I'm Windows/Mac based, but I presume that Open Office etc will do this on Linux). I insert placeholders into the document where I want to put dynamic data I use %_varname_% to avoid any RTF conflicts. In php, read the file into a string and str_replace() or preg_replace() the placeholders for your data. Save the target file as *.doc and there you go - done.
