Here's how it starts now...
<?php
header("Content-type: application/msword");
header("Content-Disposition: inline, filename=slotaletter1.rtf");
echo("<html><head><title>Untitled Document</title></head><body>");
$dbcnx = mysql_connect("localhost", "usxxxxx", "xxxxxxx");
** It then grabs the info from the database, parses it etc... then...
$filename = "slotaletter1.rtf";
$fp = fopen ( $filename, "r" );
//read our template into a variable
$output = fread( $fp, filesize( $filename ) );
fclose ( $fp );
// replace the place holders in the template with our data
$output = str_replace( "<<sal>>", $salutation, $output );
$output = str_replace( "<<first>>", $firstname, $output );
$output = str_replace( "<<last>>", $lastname, $output );
$output = str_replace( "<<address1>>", $address1, $output );
$output = str_replace( "<<address2>>", $address2, $output );
$output = str_replace( "<<city>>", $city, $output );
$output = str_replace( "<<state>>", $state, $output );
$output = str_replace( "<<zip>>", $state, $output );
$output = str_replace( "<<day>>", $dateday, $output );
$output = str_replace( "<<date>>", $date, $output );
// send the generated document to the browser
echo $output;
It all seems to work fine, but the browser displays this (see below)... which seems to be right, it's my letter, fully populated with the .rtf formatting included... except word is supposed to open... and then this output is what opens in word... instead of the browser...
