PHP: Creating Word Documents without .COM Objects (Page 1 of 5 )
Important Requirements
Before you implement this application in your own test server, bear in mind that this was tested to work on the following setup:
- PHP Version: 5.2.5
- Server: Apache
- OS: Linux
- MS Word version: MS Word 2002
You will need the following PHP functions/components to make this work:
- require_once
- $_FILES
- file_get_contents
- mt_rand
- fopen
- fwrite
This web application won't work if you try to implement it on a free web hosting platform, because hosting agencies will disable some of the functions listed above.
Also you will need to have a recaptcha account; this is the captcha solution that is used for this application. For the recaptcha to work, you will need:
a. Public Key
b. Private Key
c. Recaptcha PHP library files
You can get that on this page: http://www.google.com/recaptcha
It is highly recommended that you test this application first in the local server, such as XAMPP. So make sure you have a PHP-Apache test server installed on your system before uploading files to your web hosting company.
