'Twas brillig, and Jagdeep Singh at 06/12/08 06:46 did gyre and gimble:
Hi!
I need a function to fetch text from docx file, but it is showing formated
characters in output. I was using fopen, fgets etc function .
I want to fetch text from .docx and save it to .txt file Without special
characters (Microsoft formated characters)
Is there any function or an example??
Nothing that I know of built in to PHP (although as docx is just XML
AFAIK, you could just write an XSLT to extract the content).
You could also shell out to an application that would do it for you.
After about 5 seconds on google I found:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=235455
If it works or not I have no idea!

Also, as far as I believe, docx isn't just an XML document, but rather a
zip file of xml docs and other media.

Is there a way to make it create the following XML?
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="xsl_table.xsl" type="text/xsl"?>
<foo>
<bar/>
<bazz/>
</foo>
I can't seem to find any dom functions to do this.
Thanks in advance,
Shanon
DOMProcessingInstruction as such:
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL | E_STRICT);
$doc = new DOMDocument();
$doc->formatOutput = true;
// processing instruction data
$styleheetParams = 'href="xsl_table.xsl" type="text/xsl"';
// create processing instruction
$xmlstylesheet = new DOMProcessingInstruction( 'xml-stylesheet',
$styleheetParams);
//append it to the doc
$doc->appendChild($xmlstylesheet);
$foo = $doc->createElement("foo");
$doc->appendChild($foo);
$bar = $doc->createElement("bar");
$foo->appendChild($bar);
$bazz = $doc->createElement("bazz");
$foo->appendChild($bazz);
echo $doc->saveXML();
?>

Hi Shanon,
please look at the Class itself, if you can modify the Header of the XML
data over a method/Constant.

I don't think it's about the developer preference, it's about the user.
Javascript enables lots of checking at data entry time, and can improve
the overall user experience. If you're not particularly concerned with
the user experience, don't bother with javascript.

where as I think validation always needs to happen at the server side;
each application or script should be self contained, it needs to check
that the data it recieves is valid before working with it; if it is not
valid it needs to inform the system that sent it the data is not valid.
The system that sent it in this case is the html output; so you need a
method of displaying errors in the html.
That is the bare minimum and always needed.
As for making the experience nicer; javascript is good for this; it can
be used to pre-validate input on the way in to the system; but should
not be relied upon as it can be turned off, stop functioning due to
another faulty javascript on the page or simply not be supported by the
client. You still need the server side validation though.
So.. more of a case of always validate server side; and should / do you
want to use javascript validation in addition.
IMHO :p

this is wrong on so many levels, but his name indicates that he's more

Hi !
I wanted to know how you organise your work when you develop a project ?
- I have a checking list to control each file.
- I make a diagram (with Impress).
- And a CalcSheet to follow my variables.
(examples : http://www.surleweb.biz/development.php).
And you ? How do you work ?
Have a good evening everybody !
