BlueSkyIS Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 The non-existent class is COM. Do you have code for COM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 The non-existent class is COM. Do you have code for COM? COM is a php extension. Though it would appear php is not configured with that extension built in. What does.... <?php phpinfo(); ?> say about it? Anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam291086 Posted October 15, 2007 Author Share Posted October 15, 2007 Its not installed then but i am not sure if i am doing the right thing. Basically i want a word document with a table inside. This table of information changes daily. The users for this are complete idiots. So what i wanted is a simple word document for the users to change the table and upload to the server. Once uploaded PHP does the work and takes the tables and inserts it into a webpage. Can you point me in the right direction please Thanks for the help so far.

trq Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Why don't you simply provide a web interface to your database? Let the users fill in a simple form, save this form in the database, then display it in your webpage. Seams alot more idiot proof than what your planning to do.
