Here a good example off creating .doc only

 

this will do have a go..

 

<?php


// created via redarrow......

if(isset($_POST['submit'])){

$new_doc=trim($_POST['new_doc']);

$file_name=trim($_POST['file_name']);


$cheek=$_POST['cheek'];

$error=$_POST['error'];

if( empty($new_doc) && empty($file_name) ){

     $error='FALSE';
}

$cheek=substr($file_name,-4);

if($cheek !='.doc')	{

$error='FALSE';

}


$x=glob("*.*");

if(in_array($file_name,$x)){

$error='FALSE';
}


$fh=fopen($file_name, 'w+');

fwrite($fh, $new_doc);

@fclose($fh);

}


if($error=='FALSE'){

echo "<center>PLEASE TRY AGIN THERE WAS A PROBLAM! <br><br> 
(1) Make sure the name of the file is a .doc. <br> 
(2) Make sure you fill in all the form. <br>
(3) An error could be same file name, try another.
<br> </center>";
}


?>

<center> 

<form method="POST" action="<?php $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>">

<br> <br>

Please name the file .doc

<br> <br>

<input type="text" name="file_name">

<br> <br>

Please write your text

<br> <br>

<textarea name="new_doc" cols="30" rows="20"> </textarea>

<br> <br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Export to Word">

<br><br>

</form> 

</center>

Except for the fact that your piece of code actually doesn't write anything of use to a .doc file other than a bit of text, your HTML is really bad. =/

 

.doc requires the COM extension (as far as I know, I've never dabbled with MSOffice documents) or some other third party class in order to actually write meaningful .doc files.  Google it.  Also, shouldn't this be in PHP Help?

redarrow, .doc files are not plaintext.
