Hi all!
I am trying to start word using com and php and having
problems. I am running php 5.04 and apache 2.054 on
windows. I have used a simple example from the php
site but cant get it working.
|<?php
// starting word
$word = new COM("word.application") or die("Unable to
instantiate Word");
echo "Loaded Word, version {$word->Version}\n";
//bring it to front
$word->Visible = 1;
//open an empty document
$word->Documents->Add();
//do some weird stuff
$word->Selection->TypeText("This is a test...");
$word->Documents[1]->SaveAs("Useless test.doc");
//closing word
$word->Quit();
//free the object
$word = null;
?>
i have called this page testcom.php but when i try and
view it with a clients browser i get this error:
[client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught
exception 'com_exception' with message 'Failed to
create COM object `Word.application': Invalid
syntax\r\n' in C:\\Program Files\\Apache
Group\\Apache2\\htdocs\\testcom.php:3\nStack
trace:\n#0 C:\\Program Files\\Apache
Group\\Apache2\\htdocs\\testcom.php(3):
com->com('Word.applicatio...')\n#1 {main}\n thrown in
C:\\Program Files\\Apache
Group\\Apache2\\htdocs\\testcom.php on line 3
|
Has anyone seen this error before or know what it
means? Or if possible does anyone know of any good
docs on using com with php?
Thanks in advance for any help!!
Cheers
Bob
