[SOLVED] Problem with RTF generating

[Thierry]

I'm trying to use RTF files to generate my word documents instead of COM, due to it being faster and more compatible with other systems.

However I haven't been able to get any kind of style to work in the document, it just displays everything including all the tags.

 

<?
//get the template
$template_file = "template.rtf";
$template_content = file_get_contents($template_file); 
//make a temporary file, so we dont edit the original template
$new_temp = "new_document.rtf";
$new_temp_file = fopen($new_temp,"w");
$new_content = fwrite($new_temp_file,$template_content);
fclose($new_temp_file);
//get the contents of our newly created temp file and edit it
$content = file_get_contents($new_temp); 
$content = str_replace("*TEXT*","Line1<br>Line2<br>Line3",$content);
//and save it over the temp file
$new_file = fopen($new_temp,"w");
$new_file_content = fwrite($new_file,$content);
fclose($new_file);
?>

 

But instead of showing:

 

Line1

Line2

Line3

 

It shows Line1<br>Line2<br>Line3

I tried using \r\n to no avail.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

try using

"\par\n"

or

"\par\r\n"

Yeh, that did it, thanks.
