I have heard it is possible to get PDF files (Altough have no idea how yet) but can we generate Word documents?

@XTIauthorAug 16.2007 — Thanks for the link but unfortunately code in that page did not work. I am getting error ([B]Fatal error on line 2[/B]).

I am using a [B]UNIX server[/B].

This must be a common problem to generate Word or Excel from PHP the way PHP is expanding.

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks XTI

@XTIauthorAug 16.2007 — Error:

Fatal error on line 2

Line 2 is where is referes to the COM thing. My site is on a UNIX server that might be the problem. How can this be done if one is not using Windows Server?

@ellisglAug 16.2007 — Does it have to be word formated or can it just be a plan text document?

You could look up the spefication on the word formated doc file. I know they use some UTF8 stuff, other than that - I don't know much about the structure of the file.

Success!
