Generating results to word

[MitchEvans]

I have some code that allows text to be put into word:

<?php
$sometxt = 'foobar foobar foobar foobar foobar more foobar';
$fname = 'foo.doc';
header("Content-type: application/msword");
header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=\"$fname\"");
header("Content-length: " . strlen($sometxt));
header("Content-transfer-encoding: ascii");
header("Pragma: no-cache");
header("Expires: 0");

echo $sometxt;
die();
?>

My problem is that this is my code for the results:

<?php
if(isset($POST['interest'])) {
foreach($POST['interest'] as $value){
echo "<p>{$value}</p>";

}
}
?>

How do I use the two together to give the desired effect???

Hi,

Thats good looking code you have there 😉 Sorry I missed your question at the other thread..
Try this:

<?php
if(isset($_POST['interest'])) {
	$sometxt = '';
	foreach($_POST['interest'] as $value){
		$sometxt .= "<p>{$value}</p>";

}
$fname = 'foo.doc';
header("Content-type: application/msword");
header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=\"$fname\"");
header("Content-length: " . strlen($sometxt));
header("Content-transfer-encoding: ascii");
header("Pragma: no-cache");
header("Expires: 0");

echo $sometxt;
die();
} 
?>

I wont quarantee that this will work. You probably lose the formatting that way. Theres no clever way to create real word-documents in *nix server. Maybe then when microsoft starts to use some xml compliant format. I myself have made similar thing but with openoffice format. That was easy enough because all in all, openoffices format is just xml files compiled in to zip package.

This code hasn't worked, I see why it should but it just won't open the Word "open" screen. Don't suppose you have any other ideas?
