chico1st Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Hey i know how to upload pictures but i was wondering how to upload files like word documents?Idealy i would like to automatically convert them to PDF's, and extract the full text. The data base will also be small so im not too worried about efficiencyThanks for any help you can offerTHANKS!

fenway Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Wouldn't we all... I'm sure you can find a 3rd-party tool that converts stuff to PDF, and extracts the text as well. But none of this has to do with MySQL -- it has no idea what type of binary data you're uploading anyway.

fenway Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 I've never used any such programs, so unfortunately, I can't offer any recommendations. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/17460-upload-document/#findComment-74602 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chetan Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I just found out something,You can use COM functions for that, and there are many such classes at www.phpclasses.org Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/17460-upload-document/#findComment-75765 Share on other sites More sharing options...
robear Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Do have any idea where a full list of COM functions are available.So far all I have seen are examples including Open(); Close(); Printout(); Clear(); Release();What I need is the ability to read an MS file (.doc, .rtf, .xls...) and copy it the clipboard or a db.Any ideas at all, where to find these ellusive functions would be greatly appreciated.Renecyberviewfx.com Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/17460-upload-document/#findComment-80194 Share on other sites More sharing options...
