rtf header info

razmon

I've created a rtf file and opened it up in notepad to get the header info. In my php script I want to write data to a rtf file, but when storing the header info in a variable and doing fwrite(,$variable) it just prints straight text into the file.
How can I overcome this please and have the header transparent.
Please Help

Do you need to unicode the data you're printing to the RTF document? I don't know much about the Spec, but I don't think its as easy as just thumping in some straight text into the file...

Hi Nate
I need to tabulate 4 columns of data ie
company name t/a status address

I'm reading from a database and writing to an rtf file using the standard fwrite($fp ....)

there could be 1000 or so entries into the rtf file from the searching the database.

I've saved a dummy rtf file in word and had a good look at it its a case of how I can put the header information that rtf needs to see in just one variable then use /tab /par etc for each row that's written to the file
Does this help??

Thanks and Regards
