hitman6003 Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 possible to create a file with a structure(spaces headers and stuff) Yep, use fopen, fwrite, and fclose. http://www.php.net/fopen http://www.php.net/fwrite http://www.php.net/fclose read it with php file_get_contents or fopen and fread. http://www.php.net/file_get_contents http://www.php.net/fread display it echo and/or print http://www.php.net/echo http://www.php.net/print like it is saved Don't know what you mean What is the best text format to use for this purpose ummm, text files. Is it possible to do it with .doc files .doc is a MS word extension. It doesn't matter what extension you use, it will contain plain text regardless.
