PHP - Problems With Com Object For Reading Ms Word.

I'm trying to process MS words doc in PHP. I found some samples which use COM applications for this but not working properly (I get only exceptions and no result)
and I taught it's the version of word on my localhost or my OS so I tried them on with different windows OS and MS word. but same result, since it would be harder to make it work on remote server (the remote server needs to have MS word installed on) so I'm looking for different approach, what you think?? is there nay good one rather than COM applications? have you ever tried? is it possible to write code with other like ASP or java and combine it with PHP? every little piece of advice would be appropriated, thanks

Hey all,

I want to have an object that has a property which is an object containing instances of other objects. I try this:
Code: [Select]
class Blog extends Posts {
public $has_posts;

public function __construct($a,$b,$c){
$has_posts = (object) array_merge((array) $a, (array) $b, (array) $c);
}
}

class Posts {
public $b;

public function __construct($b){
$this->b = $b;
}
}

$post1 = new Posts(1);
$post2 = new Posts(2);
$post3 = new Posts(3);

$blog = new Blog($post1,$post2,$post3);
var_dump($blog->has_posts); //null
foreach($blog->has_posts as $post){ //Invalid argument supplied for foreach()
echo $post->b;
}

But as you see, has_posts is null, not an object containing other objects.

Thanks for response.

I have a Soup object in a Bowl object in a Microwave object.

The Microwave object has the methods:

receiveItem(Bowl $b)
cookItem(???)

I want the Microwave to be able to set the Soup->temperature but I'm not how to do that?

Make sense?

I have an XML file that manages the input to an mp3 player on this page http://www.jimslounge.com/segovia/
The structure looks like this
Code: [Select]
<content>

  <auto_play>yes</auto_play>
  <loop>yes</loop>
  <volume>60</volume>

  <artist>
    <song_title><![CDATA[Bach - Suite No. 3 - Allemande]]></song_title>
    <artist_name><![CDATA[Andre Segovia]]></artist_name>
  <image_path>load/images/segovia.jpg</image_path>
  <mp3_path>load/songs/Bach - Suite No. 3 (for solo cello, arr. Duarte)- Allemande.mp3</mp3_path>
<url target="_blank"  open="yes">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andr%C3%A9s_Segovia</url>
  </artist>
  <artist>
      ...
with <artist> being the repeating element I want to be able to read and eventually write to
If I run this
Code: [Select]
$xml = simplexml_load_file("load.xml");
 var_dump($xml);
I get this
object(SimpleXMLElement)#1 (4) { ["auto_play"]=> string(3) "yes" ["loop"]=> string(3) "yes" ["volume"]=> string(2) "60" ["artist"]=> array(22) { => object(SimpleXMLElement)#2 (5) { ["song_title"]=> object(SimpleXMLElement)#24 (0) { } ["artist_name"]=> object(SimpleXMLElement)#25 (0) { } ["image_path"]=> string(23) "load/images/segovia.jpg" ["mp3_path"]=> string(74) "load/songs/Bach - Suite No. 3 (for solo cello, arr. Duarte)- Allemande.mp3"  ... [/color]
which is overwhelming

This cleans it up but doesn't give me the artist name and song name I'm looking for.

Code: [Select]
$xml = simplexml_load_file("load.xml");
echo $xml->getName() . "<br />";
foreach($xml->children() as $child)
  {
  echo $child->getName() . ": " . $child . "<br />";
  }

The Output:
content
auto_play: yes
loop: yes
volume: 60
artist:
artist:
artist:

 My experience with simplexml only goes back a couple of hours so I'm pretty inept at this point.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hello, I'm trying to read some XML by name this is the XML:

Say I want to get reqJob and print it onto the page.

Also I would need to get the BaseData of the iconRaw canvas.
