Quoth Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I know very little about php and just what its functions can do. I have read you can read and write to files, but I am unsure wether what I would like to do is even possible. If it is, I dont mind doing the hard yards to learn how to implement it, but it is pointless if it is not possible.I have a client that has a timetable on their website. They used to drop a word document into a folder, and it would be read as an html file (though they didnt give it an html extension) It was a very old and clunky website, and I think it was written with some sort of microsoft application. (many of the files seem to be publisher documents, but anyway)What they would like to do is drop the word doc into a folder, and have it displayed on their site. (they accidentally fried and lost their old website, so I dont have it all as a reference to see how it worked)What I would like is for it to be displayed within the normal layout of the rest of the site. If I could take an html page (or php script) to inject the table in the word doc into the normal site layout then we are both winners. I relaise it is possible to make a script that displays a form for them to fill out, and then have this displayed as a table, but they are going to have to sit there for half an hour or more every week to write it up, and they would prefer not to have to take all this time out to do it.is it possible? :DCheers!

Quoth Posted January 15, 2007 Author Share Posted January 15, 2007 Also, their server has php, but no databases if that makes any difference :D Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/34221-can-php-read-a-table-from-word-doc-insert-into-html/#findComment-160982 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quoth Posted January 18, 2007 Author Share Posted January 18, 2007 as far as I can guess, it would be easier for them to create their document in excell and save it as a CSV file? then I can create code to display that file in the page I want?These people know nothing of web pages and coding. They have previously been able to just throw a word document at their server and it is displayed in their site (though very poorly.) I would like to keep this functionality for them.Any ideas? I would also prefer not to have to tell them they need to create the CSV file, but....
