marciec77 Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I want to be able to use the php COM object to instantiate MS Word for a mail merge application I'm writing in php. I know this works like a charm on a Windows Box because Windows is MS but my question is will this work on a Linux server? In order for this to work in Windows I need to change the login properties of the Apache Server and tick the box that says 'Allow service to interact with desktop '. Is there any way to do this in Linux? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

marciec77 Posted March 23, 2007 Author Share Posted March 23, 2007 I didn't think it would work... sorry for the silly question I'll re-phrase.. Using php/apache/mysql on a Linux server, is there any way to Instantiate a document (word processing or .pdf) for the purpose of mail merging data from a database?

monk.e.boy Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 I'm sure there are PDF libraries for PHP, google around a bit. Or you could use HTML and fixed width pages. Depends on what you want to do with the output. monk.e.boy Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/43691-apache-php-and-linux/#findComment-213512 Share on other sites More sharing options...
