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

L N K7
` ` ` ~ ? ? ? ? ? ?
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
a href=word.docMy Document/a?
Show some code.

You probably want to add the mime type with 'header(Content-type: application/x-ms-word);'.

The code is very unsafe, you include and execute any file, even remote
if enabled in php.ini. You should use realpath() and substr() to check
if the variable realy points to pkPatterns/ directory. Then check the
file extension using pathinfo() and return apropriate Content-type header.

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 );

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.

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 Alex James -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

If not, instead of trying to include the document with php's 'include', have php output the html code that works. When you call it as an include, Apache is going to treat it as the mime type of the document that called it (in this case, php). -- By-Tor.com It's all about the Rush http://www.by-tor.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
