Hi,
I keep receiving a lot of word documents the I need to extract and put
into a mysql table. As of now, I do a cut and paste manually using a html
from to a php script to dump it into the mysql table.
Since the format is usually the same (most of the time) I am sure there
should be another way to do this. I converted the word doc into a html
file. Now the question is that I need to write a php script to open that
file and read thru its contents. I am not that experienced in php but can
understand the basics. The steps that I would take are :
1. Open the html file in read only mode
2. Start reading the html file till I encounter a <td> tag (I don't know
how to do this)
3. Grab that data after the <td> tag (and then what?)
4. Repeat this process till encounter the </table> tag.
If anyone could give me the steps in hard code and any other alternative
what I would be happy.
A Sample of the word doc (too big to attach)
+---------------------------------------------------------------+
COS Zurich
+---------------------------------------------------------------+
June July Aug Hotel Price
+----+-------+-------+----------------+-------------------------+
28 2 8 Arion Fr.1349
Inc Village Fr.1099
+----+-------+-------+---------------+--------------------------+
This is a table. Each table belongs to a different city. Each row has
more than 2 hotels.
What would be the best solution?
TIA
Adrian
