I think it's better use rtf format. Look at <a href="http://www.phprtf.com">http://www.phprtf.com</a>.

Hi, I tried the code below to make a word document.

Code: [ Download ] [ Select ]

$word = new COM("word.application") or die ("couldnt create an instance of word");
echo "loaded , word version{$word->version}";
//bring word to the front
$word->visible = 1;
//open a word document
$word->Documents->Add();
//add some text to the document
$word->Selection->TypeText("this is some sample text in the document");
//save the document as sampleword.doc
$word->Documents[1]->SaveAs("sampleword.doc");
//close word
$word->Quit();
//free object resources
$word->Release ();
$word = null;

1. $word = new COM("word.application") or die ("couldnt create an instance of word");
2. echo "loaded , word version{$word->version}";
3. //bring word to the front
4. $word->visible = 1;
5. //open a word document
6. $word->Documents->Add();
7. //add some text to the document
8. $word->Selection->TypeText("this is some sample text in the document");
9. //save the document as sampleword.doc
10. $word->Documents[1]->SaveAs("sampleword.doc");
11. //close word
12. $word->Quit();
13. //free object resources
14. $word->Release ();
15. $word = null;

What I get is an error :
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'com_exception' with message 'Error [0x80020003] Kan lid niet vinden. ' in D:\xampp\htdocs\basiccv\Maakpdf.php:42 Stack trace: #0 D:\xampp\htdocs\basiccv\Maakpdf.php(42): com->Release() #1 {main} thrown in D:\xampp\htdocs\basiccv\Maakpdf.php on line 42
-----------------------------------------------------------------

I Checked the documentation and I saw that the Release function is for PHP 5.X
I Use PHP Version 5.2.3
So the version is right.

Is RELEASE the line were you have to put the directory in?

Can someone help me with an understanable sollution?

Thanks!

Hi ,

When I am running the code:

<?php
$word = new COM("word.application");

$word->Visible = 0;
$word->Documents->Add();
$word->Selection->PageSetup->LeftMargin = '2"';
$word->Selection->PageSetup->RightMargin = '2"';

//Setup the font
$word->Selection->Font->Name = 'Verdana';
$word->Selection->Font->Size = 8;

//Write some text
$word->Selection->TypeText("This is a test document");
//Save the document as DOC file
$word->Documents[1]->SaveAs("D:\\Domains\\jobgool.com\\wwwroot\\makeresume\\testdoc.doc");

//quit and release COM resources
$word->quit();
$word->Release();
$word = null;

?>


I am getting the following error:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'com_exception' with message 'Failed to create COM object `word.application': Invalid syntax ' in D:\Domains\xxxxxx.com\wwwroot\makeresume\testdoc.php:2 Stack trace: #0 D:\Domains\xxxxxx.com\wwwroot\makeresume\testdoc.php(2): com->com('word.applicatio...') #1 {main} thrown in D:\Domains\xxxxxx.com\wwwroot\makeresume\testdoc.php on line 2

Can someone provide me any suggestion of code modification?

Thanks in advance

So using the methods described so far i have been able to create my word document. Thank you. So much easier. But now it doesn't close the file. It puts the next echo statement that i am using to test the results of the form data that will be going into the word document. I don't know where i am going wrong?
here is the code:

Code: [ Download ] [ Select ]

<?php
//-----This Sections is all of the data for the request email----
 
//Get Data from the Form
 
$from = $_POST['email'];
$company = $_POST['company'];
$firstname = $_POST['firstname'];
$lastname = $_POST['lastname'];
$phone = $_POST['phonenumber'];
$software = $_POST['program'];
$version = $_POST['version'];
$sr = $_POST['sr'];
$filename = sprintf("2-%10s.doc",$sr);
$srnumber = sprintf ("2-%10s", $sr);
 
$string =
 
header("Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-word");
header("Expires: 0");
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
header("content-disposition: attachment;filename=$filename");
 
echo (" Fist Name: $firstname
    Last Name: $lastname
    Company:   $company
    Phone:     $phone
    From:      $from
    Software:  $software
    Version:   $version
    SR Number: $srnumber
    ");
 
$echo_string = "
    Fist Name: &nbsp $firstname<br />
    Last Name: &nbsp $lastname<br />
    Company: &nbsp $company<br />
    Phone:&nbsp $phone<br />
    From: &nbsp $from <br />
    Software: &nbsp $software<br />
    Version: &nbsp $version<br />
    Request: &nbsp $srnumber<br />
    File Name: &nbsp $filename<br />";
 
echo $echo_string;

1. <?php
2. //-----This Sections is all of the data for the request email----
3.  
4. //Get Data from the Form
5.  
6. $from = $_POST['email'];
7. $company = $_POST['company'];
8. $firstname = $_POST['firstname'];
9. $lastname = $_POST['lastname'];
10. $phone = $_POST['phonenumber'];
11. $software = $_POST['program'];
12. $version = $_POST['version'];
13. $sr = $_POST['sr'];
14. $filename = sprintf("2-%10s.doc",$sr);
15. $srnumber = sprintf ("2-%10s", $sr);
16.  
17. $string =
18.  
19. header("Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-word");
20. header("Expires: 0");
21. header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
22. header("content-disposition: attachment;filename=$filename");
23.  
24. echo (" Fist Name: $firstname
25.     Last Name: $lastname
26.     Company:   $company
27.     Phone:     $phone
28.     From:      $from
29.     Software:  $software
30.     Version:   $version
31.     SR Number: $srnumber
32.     ");
33.  
34. $echo_string = "
35.     Fist Name: &nbsp $firstname<br />
36.     Last Name: &nbsp $lastname<br />
37.     Company: &nbsp $company<br />
38.     Phone:&nbsp $phone<br />
39.     From: &nbsp $from <br />
40.     Software: &nbsp $software<br />
41.     Version: &nbsp $version<br />
42.     Request: &nbsp $srnumber<br />
43.     File Name: &nbsp $filename<br />";
44.  
45. echo $echo_string;

It takes the formdata and uses it to create the filename, and the contents, but it adds the $echo_string to the document as well. Any ideas?

1. header("Content-Type: application/vnd.mspowerpoint");
2. print "<table border=\"1\"><tr><td><b>field1</b></td><td><b>field2</b></td></tr>";

Hey, thanks for the help. This was very helpful. I was quickly able to create a word document with PHP. I used the following code:

PHP Code: [ Download ] [ Select ]

 
    $fp = fopen("Passes.doc", 'w+');
    foreach($pass_arry as $pass_arry)
    {
        $pass_arry = $pass_arry."\n";
        fwrite($fp, $pass_arry);
    }
    fclose($fp);
 

1.  
2.     $fp = fopen("Passes.doc", 'w+');
3.     foreach($pass_arry as $pass_arry)
4.     {
5.         $pass_arry = $pass_arry."\n";
6.         fwrite($fp, $pass_arry);
7.     }
8.     fclose($fp);
9.  

It worked great, but I have a slight problem. When word opens up, I get another window that says "File Conversion-Passes1.doc. Select the encoding that makes your document readable. Text coding: Windows(default) blah blah" and I have to press "okay" for it to open. Is there anyway I can make it so this window doesn't pop up and the Word document opens immediately? Thanks!
