Dear all

the problem that all the examples in this guide worked fine except the ms word example i am getting the following error:

 

this is the output:

I'm using MS Word 11.0

Fatal error: Call to a member function TypeText() on a non-object in C:\Inetpub\temp\index.php on line ...

 

$word->Selection->TypeText("Hello, universe!"); // error is here !

 

please help i tried everything... ???

 

note: i am using windows server 2003 sbs and php 5 and office 2003

[only one]

obviously theres a problem with the TypeText() function...

 

ive never heard of it before but try this

 

Type_Text() instead

to see the funcation which can be call by the PHP & COM do the following

open microsoft word (Alt+F11 to open Visual Basic Editor, F2 to open Object Browser).  you can see that in the attached file

 

and i also tried your suggestion and still the same error

$range->Text = $current_date;
//7. save the template as a new document (c:/reminder_new.doc)
