PHP - Open And Get Contents Of A Word Document With Php?
I am running PHP 5 on a linux server.
I want to be able to open a .doc or .docx file with PHP (or any way possible, for that matter) in order to grab the contents from it. How can i do this? I know COM classes work with windows for this, but i have linux. Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Not to say that this occurs in every php software out there, but I far too occasionally notice that the application is written with scattered php open and close tags, for instance
<?php if(true) ?> <?php { ?> Blah blah blah, because it's true <?php } else { ?> because it's not true <?php } ?>To me, it is extremely irritating. Regardless, I see a lot of open source software written this way and I can't help but think that there must be some underlying reason for it. Magento, for example, is written exactly in this manner. The templates are infested with these opened and closed php snippets. Obscurity is not security so I'm ruling security reasons out. Maybe it is more efficient? -- But I couldn't understand why, if so. It seems like that would put more of a drag on the system itself causing php to start and stop parsing continually and excessively, then again, I'm no expert in the field of memory consumption and other operating system complexities. Honestly, in my opinion, it is stupid. i would never write a program that way.. HEREDOCs are much more useful and eye pleasing than that awful <?php { ?> I had the misfortune a few months ago when I purchased an invoicing/customer maintenance system that I didn't know was written for PHP 5.2 or something lower, one that allowed short tags; and thus short tags were used in the same manner as I've described. Is this just plain disorganization or is there some deep-seated inner lining advantage that I'm not aware of? I have this script below that makes an XML which displays the contents of a directory which contains image files. After running the .php, the XML output looks like this: Code: [Select] <gallery> <content src="./uploaded/images/Desert.jpg"/> <content src="./uploaded/images/Penguins.jpg"/> <content src="./uploaded/images/tux.png"/> <content src="./uploaded/images/Jellyfish.jpg"/> <content src="./uploaded/images/Chrysanthemum.jpg"/> <content src="./uploaded/images/Tulips.jpg"/> <content src="./uploaded/images/Koala.jpg"/> </gallery> I would like the output to be like: Code: [Select] <gallery> <photos> <photo> <content src="./uploaded/images/Desert.jpg"/> </photo> <photo> <content src="./uploaded/images/Penguins.jpg"/> </photo> <photo> <content src="./uploaded/images/tux.png"/> </photo> <photo> <content src="./uploaded/images/Jellyfish.jpg"/> </photo> <photo> <content src="./uploaded/images/Chrysanthemum.jpg"/> </photo> <photo> <content src="./uploaded/images/Tulips.jpg"/> </photo> <photo> <content src="./uploaded/images/Koala.jpg"/> </photo> </photos> </gallery> Here is the script: Code: [Select] <?php $path_to_image_dir = "./uploaded/images"; // path to your image directory $xml_string = <<<XML <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <gallery> </gallery> XML; $xml_generator = new SimpleXMLElement($xml_string); if ( $handle = opendir( $path_to_image_dir ) ) { while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) { if ( is_file($path_to_image_dir.'/'.$file) ) { $image = $xml_generator->addChild('content'); $image->addattribute('src', $path_to_image_dir.'/'.$file); } } closedir($handle); } header("Content-Type: text/xml"); echo $xml_generator->asXML(); ?> Hi all
So I'm back to being a php newbie after not touching the stuff for years....and straight back to being pretty sure I'm just incredibly stupid.
I want to grab the contents of a url onto a string so that I can search the string and use the contents. I think this should work:
<?php $homepage = file_get_contents('http://www.example.com/'); echo "Homepage = " . $homepage; ?>But it doesn't. What am I doing wrong, or could there be an issue with my server that means it's not able to perform this maybe? (It's working fine for everything so far) Or is there another way of achieving this? Thanks!! I want to parse some tiny lines from a webpage. I have few questions: 1. What is faster and better: cURL or file_get_contents? 2. Is it better to run preg_match commands form every line I want OR first get a shorter part (e.g. between <head> tag) then running preg_match for the lines? 3. Actually, I need to load the whole page before parsing. Is there a way to stop loading the whole page. For example, when I want something between <head> tag; stop loading <body>? Thank you in advance! I used this code $limit = 120; if (strlen($summary) > $limit) $summary = substr($summary, 0, strrpos(substr($summary, 0, $limit), ' . . .')); This code ok in English Language it counts letters fine but it is not work fine if I insert Arabic text. It counts Arabic encoding characters. Hello friends, if i have the following $path = "http://*site*.com"; why can't i write the following $ORGtext= file_get_contents('$path'); it works only if i write $ORGtext= file_get_contents('http://*site*.com'); but i want to put $path instead of the url at file_get_contents is it possible and if yes then how ? thank you Hello there, Using PHP, what's the best way of replacing the contents between different HTML 5 element tags on the fly? Some of the elements I'm looking to change can be found below. I have looked into the possibility of using Regular Expressions, but have found lots of material on the internet that try to prevent you from using such a method for parsing HTML due to speed and other HTML code related issues. Any help, example code, and ideas on this is greatly appreciated. Code: [Select] <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="utf-8" /> <title>Some Title</title> </head> <body> <div>Replace contents of div tag.</div> <p class="someClass">Replace contents of p tag.</p> <table> <tr> <th>Static Table Heading 1</th> <th>Static Table Heading 2</th> <th>Static Table Heading 3</th> </tr> <tr> <td>Replace Table Data 1 Contents</td> <td>Replace Table Data 2 Contents</td> <td>Replace Table Data 3 Contents</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Replace Table Data 4 Contents</td> <td>Replace Table Data 5 Contents</td> <td>Replace Table Data 6 Contents</td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> how do i make this part of the script delete the folder and contents. Code: [Select] <?php $path = "../../gallery/gallery_files/gallery/"; if(isset($_POST['file']) && is_array($_POST['file'])) { foreach($_POST['file'] as $file) { rmdir($path. "/" . $file) or die("Failed to delete file"); } } ?> Hello all, I've run in to a very strange problem that I've never seen before. in my "config.php" file I have something like this... <?php // the URL of the script. NO trailing slash. $xconfig['url'] = $r['cfg_site_url']; // the site name $xconfig['title'] = $r['cfg_site_title']; // the YouTube user name to populate the site with. $xconfig['youtube_user'] = $r['cfg_site_youtube']; // the video to show on the homepage $xconfig['homepage_video'] = $r['cfg_homepage_video']; ?> and in my index.php page, I have <?php include "config.php"; ?> but, also in index.php, I have this <?php echo $xconfig['title'] ; ?> but it won't echo! None of the values in $xconfig[] output anything. I've even done put this in index.php <?php var_dump($xconfig); exit; ?> and that shows the array with the contents I expected. So, why does the array have the correct contents, but will not echo? Thanks a ton! Hey, I need a bit of help replacing some variables in a string. I know its done with preg_replace. Here is the string: Code: [Select] Header 1 <|header 2|> header 3 <b>header 4</b> I would like to get ONLY <|header 2|> from the above string. But "header 2" is variable so please its useless if the preg_replace isn't flexible to find whatever word is in there regardless. Thanks you. What is the proper way to output the contents of a class? (We will assume that Getters and Setters are evil...) Let's say I have the following class... class FormHandler2 { // Define Variables. private $myFormArray; // Constructor. public function __construct($param){ $this->myFormArray = $param; } } ...and I want to be able to output its contents either via a variable dump OR by printing something to the screen. How would I do that? TomTees I have a purchase order displaying on a site that the user can edit quantities for. I want them to be able to hit submit and it takes that form and submits it to some code that auto creates a PDF with it. The PDF part is easy, I use DOMPDF to create that and it works fine, I just can't seem to get the values passed through. I can easily pass the values of just the input boxes through the $_POST but I don't want to have to recreate the PDF setup after the post. I'd rather just use some Javascript or something to grab the innerHTML of a <div> element and somehow make it available after the form is submitted so the PHP code can use it to send to DOMPDF. The form submits to itself and I have a piece of code at the top of the page which will create the PDF, I just need the <div> contents and I'm done. How do I get it? I could set it into a hidden variable but the reason I'm not doing that is because for some reason when I assign the big table which contains the whole purchase order into the hidden variable and then try to print it, it comes out all messed up. I don't know why and I'd rather just find another way than attempt to figure that out. I have made a file explorer for my site so i can upload files, delete them and rename them. Everythings working fine except when i want to delete a folder. I realise you cant use ftp_delete, coz' that only works for files. I have tried rmdir, and even though I am getting no errors, it seems to do nothing :s So what is the best way to delete a folder and its contents using PHP FTP commands? Thanks guys Hello all, I'm sure something like this has been brought up before but I think it's quite a unique problem and I didn't get anywhere searching... so here's my first post. Yay. Right, so, basically I have a database table that looks like this: Code: [Select] +----------+-------+ | name | value | +----------+-------+ | settingA | true | | settingB | false | | settingC | false | +----------+-------+ And I have been racking my brains trying to figure out how to get that data into an array formatted like so: Code: [Select] Array ( [settingA] => true [settingB] => false [settingC] => false ) The best I have been able to do, using nested foreach() statements, is this: Code: [Select] Array ( [0] => Array ( [name] => settingA [value] => true ) [1] => Array ( [name] => settingB [value] => false ) [2] => Array ( [name] => settingC [value] => false ) ) ...which is not very practical, or at least it isn't for what I want to do. Any ideas on what the best method might be for achieving this? I am using ADOdb Lite but even an example using PHP's native MySQL functions could help me figure out what to do. Thanks! I have 2 pages...1 one that has something like 500 checkboxes that list all of the active users in a database. When any number of checkboxes are selected it passes the variables from the checkboxes to the next page, asking for confirmation.
Right now I have the 2nd page displaying numbers for the people, but doesn't display the correct entries.
The code is below, hopefully it helps:
if(isset($_POST['Update'])) //if the update button was pressed { if (isset($_POST['Player_number'])) //checks to see if any checkboxes are selected { //$Player_number = IMPLODE(',',$_POST['Player_number']); //putting the comma in between the array items echo $Player_number; ?> <input type="hidden" name="<?PHP $Player_number; ?>" value="<?PHP $Player_number; ?>"> $Player_number = IMPLODE(',',$_POST['Player_number']); //putting the comma in between the array items $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `players` WHERE `Player_number` = '$Player_number' ORDER BY Player_Last_Name") or die(mysql_error()); while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) //while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) { // here is your data echo "FName: ".$row['Player_First_Name']; echo "lName: ".$row['Player_Last_Name']; echo "email: ".$row['player_email']; } foreach($_POST['Player_number'] as $row) { $result = mysql_query("SELECT `Player_First_Name`,`Player_Last_Name`,`player_email`, `Player_number` FROM `players` WHERE `Player_number` = '$Player_number' ORDER BY Player_Last_Name") or die(mysql_error()); $Player_number = IMPLODE(',',$_POST['Player_number']); //putting the comma in between the array items while($rows=mysql_fetch_array($result)) { echo "Player Number: ".$Player_number; //echo "pNumber: ".$row; //echo $rows['Player_First_Name']; ?> <tr bgcolor='<?PHP echo $bkcolor; ?>'> <td width = '20%' height="20"><div align="center"><input type="hidden" name="Player_number[]" value="<?php echo $row; ?>"></div></td> <td width= '20%' headers="20"><div align="center"><?php echo $rows['Player_First_Name']; ?></div></td> <td width= '20%' headers="20"><div align="center"><?php echo $rows['Player_Last_Name']; ?></div></td> <td width= '20%' headers="20"><div align="center"><?php echo $rows['player_email']; ?></div></td> <?PHP }//close of the while loop }//close of the foreach loop }//close of if (isset($_POST['Player_number'])) } //close of (isset($_POST['Update']
Hi This is something used in CPUs Logical shift right I have a string $bin = "10011101"; // result should be "01001110" the function is function LogicalShiftRight($bin) { for($x = 7; $x == 0; $x--) { echo $x; $bin[$x+1] = $bin[$x]; } $bin[0] = 0; return $bin; } cant get the loop to work backwords. This is an 8 bit shift right putting a zero at the highest bit. |
