File Uploading Problem

[patelhiteshp]

Ok. here m giving you the full detail of the work what m trying to get it done..
I am opening a file from server thru a Web browser.
that mean I make users to see the file in web browser.
Mind you file will be seen in web browser but it will get open using appropriate application.
Like... if user want to see DOC file user will be accessing a file in browser but it will be open in MS Word withing that browser. Because I want that user to make change in that file.

And when he finish making changes in that file should be uploaded again in the server with those changes..
DONT WANT to MAKE USER TO DOWNLOAD AND UPLOAD that file again....

I’m no expert at ”the Internets”…

Neither do I really understand what you are trying to say…

But, however, let us give it a try...

If you want “MS Word” (because that’s the program that is loaded and handles the data) to do what you want I would guess that you would have to look for some form of API-language that lets “MS Word” communicate with the target file on your server. You should be ably to find information about this, if there is any, at MS web site.

Another way of handling this is to create a CMS and let the user, through a web application edit the word file. If I’m not mistaken, Word now supports XML, which should mean that you would only need a “simple” CMS that can handle XML, and the format tags that “MS Word” XML files use.

... Once again, I’m no expert. Good luck.

you could use this in your php script:
header('Content-Type: application/msword');
header('Content-Disposition: inline; filename=your_text_file.doc');

all the html output will be transfered to ms word application

after user had finished modify the document, user can upload
via input text =userfile tag from html
and u processed the file to server using php copy function like:
copy($userfile,$destinationpath);

good luck

Yeah, well... That was my third guess…
