adam291086 Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 I have a simple bit of code that gets the contents of a document and displays it. It work fine with a txt document but when i use a word documet it output ÐÏࡱá>þÿ *,þÿÿÿ) Is this because im using the wrong function? Any Ideas? <html> <head> </head> <body> <?php // Get a file into an array. In this example we'll go through HTTP to get // the HTML source of a URL. $lines = file_get_contents('adam.doc'); echo $lines; ?> </body> </html> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shocker-z Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 It's because word documents are not plain text.. file_get_contents() only displays what you see if you open the file in "notepad" you'll need to google for reading php files in PHP as i know it's simple to create them but i havn't seen many people reading them in.
