bala_god:

Try changing this line of your code:

print "Loaded word version ($word->Version)\n";

by removing the parenthesis here: ($word->Version) and replacing them with curly braces like this: {$word->Version}

That should get you going.

Also, after you quit Word you should free the object like this:

//free the object
$word = null;
?>

Hope this helps you.

Don't forget to mark the thread "resolved" if it is resolved.

Good Luck

You will not succeed in producing a robust solution using MSOffice OLE interfaces.

They're not suitable for use in web applications - either via PHP, or anything else.

One false move, and it opens up an invisible dialogue box waiting for nonexistent user input, hangs the web server, and then locks everything up by gradually consuming all memory.

You will not succeed in producing a robust solution. Use one of the many commercial MSWord document generation libraries if you feel the absolute need to do so.
