Hi,
sadly enough it's not that easy. But it is possible:
$word->visible = 0;
$word->Options->ConfirmConversions = false; // menu: options->general->confirm
conversions
// search for HTML Converter
$fcList = $word->FileConverters();
$count = $fcList->Count();
for($i=1; $i<=$count; $i++) {
$fc = $fcList->Item($i);
// go for ClassName, it's locale-independent
if ($fc->ClassName() == 'HTML') break;
}
if ($i <= $count) {
/* HTML Converter available
Documents.Open FileName:="dl.php", ConfirmConversions:=True, ReadOnly:= _
False, AddToRecentFiles:=False, PasswordDocument:="", PasswordTemplate:= _
"", Revert:=False, WritePasswordDocument:="", WritePasswordTemplate:="", _
Format:=wdOpenFormatAuto <- Here you specify the converters index
*/
$word->Documents->Open ('anyfile.html', False, False, False, '', '', False,
"", "", $fc->OpenFormat());
$word->Documents[1]->SaveAs('anyfile.doc', wdFormatDocument);
$word->Document[1]->Close();
$word->Quit();
$word->Release();
}
Some words of caution:
a) At least Word 8.0 (aka Word 97) is at least a little stupid when it comes to
understanding HTML.
So don't expect too much of the conversion of complicated formats.
b) Word tends to ask if you want it to update the converters over the internet. This
question can and
must be suppressed once in manually processing a convesion by checking "don't ask
again" or else
word will hang while automatically opening the HTML file.
c) Ron, of course you can set any font spec using COM: a macro suggesting assignment
of a property
works just the same in COM. If you see
...Name = "aName"
just make it
...->Name = 'aName';
happy hacking

Hey,
I have a script that needs to save the session id and username but when i
use the following code it will not save anything to the session file, can
anyone help out here? The same script use to work when i ran it under Win 98
and Mandrake Linux but since i have installed WinXP it stops working
<?Php
session_start();
session_register('id');
$id = $PHPSESSID;
session_register('user_username');
$user_username = $form_username;
session_register('user_pass');
$user_pass = $form_pass;
?>

in my experience, using numeric indices to your array, you can deposit and
reference occurances as follows; however your reference is not a valid
array definition;
[0] => 1 [1] => 2 [2] => 3 ... [99] => 100 (I don't believe these are valid
as a definition)
numeric indices would be defined as follows;
array(0 => 1, 1 => 2, 2 => 3 .... 99 => 100);
$x = $dataarray[50];
$dataarray[50 - 2] = $x;
$dataarray[50 + 1] = $x;
if($dataarray[71] == 74) do this....
On the other hand, if the indices is alpha-numeric string representations of
numbers,
array("0" => 1, "1" => 2, "2" => 3 ... "99" => 100)
you will need to use some other tricks to access them.
hope this is what you are looking for, you used several terms like "select"
and "know the value" of that are somewhat ambiguous ;-)

Subject: [PHP-WIN] Array question
If I have an array like this > [0] => 1 [1] => 2 [2] => 3 ... [99] =>

If I want to select [50] => 51 and store the value that's 2 positions
before and 1 position after, how can I do?
If I want to know what position value 71 have?
I have search the PHP-manual and found some functions as prev, next, pos
etc. But with these commands I have to loop thru the array every time to
reach the the values and positions. It has to be an easier way to do it.

hi again jocke... seems i'll give a go at answering your questions again ;-)
If I understand your question properly, I doubt the previous poster's
response would be useful to you.
The bad news (I think): there are limited functions that deal with array
pointers. There are plenty to deal with arrays themselves.
as you've noted: pos, next, prev seem to be the only way to deal with a
pointer, so yes, the way that I implemented my solution was to use next and
pos to get the positioning and in doing so, reading the *entire array*
(yuck) and storing into a new array based on conditions.
option 1) I haven't tried, so I'm not sure if array_search (for key) and
in_array (for value) move the pointer - maybe you could try those. (gut feel
is they don't). If they do, then you can for loop a prev/next to get what
you want.
option 2) I guess you could actually use integers as your index and have
them sort-ed (or array_push them on) that might solve your problem, but I
think that's a bit of a kludge. (ie, implicitly using the array key value as
a pointer)
option 3) So.... the only way I found was to loop thru the whole array, it's
messy for large sets, but if your array size is only 100 (I doubt it is) it
may be ok. It seems excessive though.
looping thru the entire set might not be too bad, I assume that's what an
array_search might be doing as well(?) so you're not saving any more time
even if that works.
Anyhow, tell me if you find another method... i'll go off and do more
research on it now too.

Well its not exactly what I was looking for but you gave me some ideas,
but still got this small problem:
If I know the value in the array, say for example 49. Then I want to
store the previous and next value in the array? I know the other way
when I have the position, just use pos($dataarray) then like you sad
$dataarray($key+1), that's easy. But the other way????

// This is how I would do it. The first question is easily solved by putting
a mathematical
// expression inside the array brackets.
$selectIndex = 50; // The index you're interested in
$selectedValue = yourArray[$select];
$selectedValueMinus2 = yourArray[$select-2];
$selectedValuePlus1 = yourArray[$select+1];
// The second problem would force me to loop through the array, though.
$selectValue = 71; // The value you want to look for
$sizeOfArray = count($yourArray); // Number of elements in your array
// Search through the array for the value you want, break when found
for($i=0;$i<$sizeOfArray;$i++){

}
// $i contains the position of the value in the array

"PHP and MySQL Web Development" by Luke Welling and Laura Thomson
I read only 250 of this book but it gave me marvelous introduction to PHP
and MySQL. After reading those pages I started doing some eproject and now I
feel very comfortable with PHP.
Btw, I knew some Pascal and C++ already and that helped a lot as I was
familiar with basic programming concepts.

I have created a snazzy little PHP widget that creats an actual hard HTML
page from a bunch of included pages and saves it as a temp.html file on
the server. The app then invokes MS Word's COM object and opens the HTML
file, converts it to a Word doc and then creates a link to it. The
problem I'm having is a bit odd...I can see that the doc is indeed getting
created in the right directory, it opens and displays exactly as expected
if I open it from the directory...but the link to the file doesn't open
the file...it simply hangs trying to open the doc. Subsequent attempts to
open the file using the link results in a page not found error.
I have double, triple checked the directory to the file on the server,
that checks out okay. The file does exist and opens fine when i navigate
to the drive that contains the directory.
Does anyone have any possible ideas of why the file wouldn't be opening
using a link?
COM Related Code:
$fileName = "testwrite.html";
$fp = fopen($fileName,"r+")or die("Could not open file");
fwrite($fp,$htmlContent);
fclose($fp);
$filePath = "D:/public/TatumPartnersQA/testwrite.html";
@$word = new COM("Word.Application") or die("Unable to instanciate Word");
$word->visible = 0;
$word->Options->ConfirmConversions = false;
$word->Documents->Open($filePath);
$word->Documents[1]->SaveAs('D:/public/WordResources/testwrite4.doc');
$word->Documents[1]->Close();
$word->Quit();
$word->Release();
echo "<a
href='http://www.tatumpartners.net/public/WordResources/testwrite2.doc'

Quick question: Is there any special characters that make up a Page Break in MS Word?
I know that "\r\n" make a line break and carriage return. Is there anything for Page
Break?
