PHP - Writing To Open Documents
I am trying to write to a document that is open doc format.
Are there any libraries that help out with this specifically mailing labels? Similar TutorialsHi, There is this project 'District Collector Office-Information integration' that computerizes the citizen facility center. In the system citizens can apply for birth certificates,marriage certificate , obtain ration cards among other functionalists online.so far my system can generate birth and marriage certificates but i totally have no idea on how to validate the same.at what conditions is one illegible to obtain a marriage cert?,supposing one has more than one wife?,what limits one from applying for more than one document? when is one illegible to obtain a birth cert.? conditions limiting application of more than one birth cert ? Thanx. Regards cornelius is there a way I can make something like a ticket in pdf format that can have $name or the likes echo in it? if you could help get me started, that would be great! Hey Everyone, I need to have the ability to create PDF/X1A documents. My initial thoughts are it would be easy as i have created PDFs in the past with no hassle. I have been trawling the google and various blogs but with no joy. Does anyone have any experience creating PDF/X1A documents in PHP ? Is it possible ? Regards, -Ben Hi, I've been looking around the net and various forums and found that the code below does appear to work and do what I need at a basic level, but I was wondering if there was a quick and easy way to improve this code OR another alternative that would give me similar/better results. I effectively have certain word documents that I want to use as templates for part of a project. So if i were to write a letter I could pull from the DB usual name/address, but also other intelligent information that might be dependant on different DB fields so it could generate different options, ie if they had children it would produce a different sentence?? Obviously my ideal solution would be that the php coding wouldnt need to be touched, but would allow for 'coded options' within the document to be added/removed without causing any issues, maybe some kind of generic coding so at least some content can be re-used for multiple documents ? However, I did have two initial thoughts on how to do some of this - maybe? (be gentle im still a learner!) 1, create an array of somekind and use generic terms for a set range, say 'bookmark1','bookmark2', etc so a user could just tag the original word document knowing they only had to add a new number to the end if they needed to add something new ? 2,read the document contents out -DO STUFF TO IT- load it back into a doc/save. with this method I will have to admit ive not done before so would welcome any extra detailed input or advisory suggestions, ie. ensuring it goes back into the correct format, say there was an image/logo or complicated series or bulleted paragraghs or tables ?? I have initially choosen MS word as many people out there are familiar with this product and is widely used. However, if it means I am able to create something easily and better within some other format or package that will give me what I want but also be compatible with word then im more than happy to go with any suggestions (ie templates initially created within openoffice and merely saved into .DOC format?) <?php //1. Instanciate Word $word = new COM("word.application") or die("Unable to instantiate Word"); //2. specify the MS Word template document (with Bookmark TODAYDATE inside) $template_file = "C:/t.doc"; //3. open the template document $word->Documents->Open($template_file); //4. get the current date MM/DD/YYYY $current_date = date("m/d/Y"); //5. get the bookmark and create a new MS Word Range (to enable text substitution) $bookmarkname = "mytester"; $objBookmark = $word->ActiveDocument->Bookmarks($bookmarkname); $range = $objBookmark->Range; //6. now substitute the bookmark with actual value $range->Text = $current_date; //7. save the template as a new document (c:/reminder_new.doc) $new_file = "c:/reminder_new.doc"; $word->Documents[1]->SaveAs($new_file); //8. free the object $word->Quit(); //$word->Release(); $word = null; ?> Hi everyone, I do not know if this is the right place to ask the following, but I know all the php guru's read here. So please take a moment to read and please help point me in the right direction. I have a php website that I am developing, it is a job website, where my problem is that I need to be able to extract text from the following file formats: doc, docx, rtf, txt and maybe pdf. I have googled and done research on this subject, but I do not find any php scripts that can do the job properly. I have found a java app developed by apache that does the text extraction perfectly, called apache tika. (calling it using exec is really a problem, since most hosts don't provide root access.) I need a way to use this with php. If you know of any other method that I can do this, please help and suggest as this is a major bridge that I have to cross very urgently. your help will be much appreciated, thanks Hi, Well I have been working on Php for quite sometime but creating Word Docs is something I am totally new to. I googled about this and found different methods of creating word documents via php. The most promising one that I found involves writing HTML code and inside header, save it as a *.doc file (I know thats not exactly a Word File but what else can be done). Like this, Code: [Select] header("Content-type: application/vnd.ms-word"); header("Content-Disposition: attachment; Filename=Report.doc"); The whole word document came out perfectly fine, but there was one little problem (later on turned out to be the BIGGEST one) was placing images in the document. All the images were saved on a secure server so like we do in HTML, I used the following line of code, <img src="https://somewebaddress/users.png" /> The word document appeared to be fine for me, but when that document was sent to the client, client was unable to view the images. Now, I guess you all know what my question would be, and that is, is there a way we could somehow make this work. I even tried downloading all the images to disk and giving their path, still in the end, the document only needs to be sent to the client and images do not appear. Please help me in this regards, Thanks in advance to all P.S. Please see the following sample (mini) code of the real thing, real document is a bit toooooooo big and kind of confidential Code: [Select] <?php header("Content-type: application/vnd.ms-word"); header("Content-Disposition: attachment; Filename=Report.doc"); ?> <html> <head> <title>TCS Monthly Report $month $year</title> </head> <body> <b><h3> Monthly Operational User Statistics</h3></b> <br> The red line is users logged in over the month. The green area is users recently logged in (last few days).<br> <br><img src="https://somewebaddress/users.png" /> </body> </html> I'm storing website files online and each user can upload their own files and admin can upload files for that user specifically. How would I go about making sure nobody else can download their PDF file? Would it be a case of assigning a folder for each user's documents and not allowing access to any other user to that folder?
Thanks in advance.
hello dear folks good evening dear PHP-Freaks,
well i am not sure if this question fits here - in miscellaneous.
but i am pretty sure that many many calc and excel-experts are here in this great forum.
what is aimed:
want to create a calendar - with 365-chunks that are imported into a caleandar form see some ideas where i can import this i posted the example-calc spreassheet that i want to import. note it has got 365 lines - for 365 days of the next year 2015 what needs to be done ; whats needs to be achieved: i need to impoort the example into the calendar form. see some of the examples -.. if i am able to import the texts (of the collumn ) in a writer or word document each line of the calc needs to get on a sheed of the word or writer. i need to know how to arrange this export of calc into the writer document. if i need to explain it more thoroughiy - just let me know! greetings you matze see some examples of calendar templates Blank daily calendar - Templates Daily lesson planner (color, landscape) - Templates note: all i need to know is to be able to export from calc to any word or calc document... see the attached sample below... Attached Files 2015_sample_version_.ods.zip 18.07KB 0 downloads Hello, First post here! I am using a script to store small files into a database. I know it is not highly recommended but this is the only solution I can find in this case. All seems fine when inserting but when retrieving all documents are corrupt. I am working with PHP 5 on Windows server. Part script after upload: (the document is uploaded to the server first and this is working fine) Code: [Select] if (!empty($_FILES)) { $folder = "kenya/docs_temp/";//including last / $tempFile = $_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name']; $targetPath = dirname(__FILE__); $targetPath = substr($targetPath,0,strrpos($targetPath, "uploadify")). $folder; $targetFile = str_replace('\\','/',$targetPath) . $_FILES['Filedata']['name']; $fileName = $_FILES['Filedata']['name']; $tmpName = $_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name']; $fileSize = $_FILES['Filedata']['size']; $fileType = $_FILES['Filedata']['type']; $conn=odbc_connect('xxx','xxx','xxxx'); $content = file_get_contents($tmpName,true); $content = addslashes($content); if(!get_magic_quotes_gpc()){ $fileName = mysql_real_escape_string($fileName); } $file_info = pathinfo($_FILES['Filedata']['name']); $addDoc = "INSERT INTO tblfiles (file_name,file_type,file_size,file_content,file_extension) VALUES ('".addslashes($fileName)."','".$fileType."','".$fileSize."','".$content."','".$file_info['extension']."')"; odbc_exec($conn,$addDoc); } The the script to retrieve and output to the browser: Code: [Select] $conn=odbc_connect('xxxx','xxx','xxxx'); //get the document $getF = "SELECT * FROM tblfiles WHERE userId = '".$_GET['userId']."' AND fileId = '".$_GET['fileId']."'"; $rsF = odbc_exec($conn,$getF); $size = floor(odbc_result($rsF,'file_size')); $type = odbc_result($rsF,'file_type'); $name = odbc_result($rsF,'file_name'); $content = odbc_result($rsF,'file_content'); ob_end_clean(); header("Content-length: ".$size.""); header("Content-type: ".$type.""); header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.$name.'"'); echo $content; And finally here is the structure for the table: Code: [Select] CREATE TABLE `tblfiles` ( `fileId` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, `userId` int(11) NOT NULL, `file_name` varchar(100) NOT NULL, `file_type` varchar(100) default NULL, `file_size` int(11) default NULL, `file_content` mediumblob, `file_extension` varchar(50) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`fileId`) ) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=6 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=6 ; many thanks for any assistance. Hello one and all, Just a quick request here, I've written a script that sends an email with an attached file by the user. (docx, txt, pdf, doc, rtf) are the formats I have accepted. At the moment I'm sending them with the following... Code: [Select] $fileatt_type = "application/pdf"; // File Type It works fine with all formats in older email clients, i.e, like yahoo before they updated the layout, but in the newer versions it's specific and if I try to send it this way it is always delivered as a .PDF and doesn't open if it is any of the other formats. It may sound silly but I've searched a fair bit for the other extensions or formats to include instead of the above code (maybe something like application/doc or something) but there doesn't seem to be a list. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Much obliged, PHP the learned. I'm trying to open a URL using fopen() and I keep getting this error: Code: [Select] Failed to open stream: Permission deniedI can not work out what is wrong, it's not a firewall as far as I can tell. 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?
im trying to make a program that changes some files from 0 to 1,but im having some trouble... heres my code, Code: [Select] $id = $_GET["id"]; $file1 = "http://mysite.co.cc/users/".$id."/file1.txt"; $fh = fopen($file1, 'w'); fwrite($fh, "1"); fclose($fh); I followed this tut: http://www.tizag.com/phpT/filewrite.php I cant find anything wrong with the code,but it will not make the file have 1 in it. I am using a script I adapted from a tutorial to print the contents of a text box to a txt file. Basically, it's a really simple way of seeing who has logged in. I only have a handful of users. The problem is, although the text file is being created in the proper folder, it isn't being written to and just remains blank. <div align="center"> <table width="300" border="2" bordercolor="#FFFFFF" style="-moz-border-radius: 18px; -webkit-border-radius: 18px;" height="120" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <form name="form1" method="post" action="checklogin.php"> <td> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1" background="images/loginbg.jpg" style="-moz-border-radius: 15px; -webkit-border-radius: 15px;"> <tr align="center"> <td colspan="3"><font color="#FFFFFF"><strong>Family Login </strong></font></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="78"><font color="#000000">Username</font></td> <td width="6">:</td> <td width="294"><input name="myusername" type="text" id="myusername"> <?php $myusername = $_POST['myusername']; $data = "$myusername\n"; //open the file and choose the mode $fh = fopen("logs/login.txt", "a"); fwrite($fh, $data); fclose($fh); ?></td> </tr> <tr> <td><font color="#000000">Password</font></td> <td>:</td> <td><input name="mypassword" type="password" id="mypassword"></td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Login"> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </form> </tr> </table> </div> I'm not sure what's going wrong but I'm guessing it's the placing of the php, or at least some of it. I'd quite like to add the time they logged in as well. Any idea's anyone? Ok, I know how to write to a file, but what I'm looking for is to check if a line of code exists, and if it is, don't recreate it. It would also be nice to not recreate the file either. Code: [Select] $file = fopen("index.html", "w"); fwrite($file,"This is a line of text"); fclose($file); I have a web app hosted on Just Host that I have nearly finished writing but still needs to have coded the ability to write a text file to user's computer. the user should be able to specify where on their computer they would like the file to be stored. Is this possible ? And can you tell me how it's done, or point me to a souce that can tell me I rarely ever ask for help regarding programming, but this has flumoxed me. If it is not possible to do this, then would I have to generate this file on the Host's server (Just Host in my case), then download it ? If this can be done then can you please tell me how, as any info I have found related to file downloads seems a bit obscure thanks in advance Greetings, I am trying to write XML using SimpleXML for a web service call. I was having success until the XML got a little more complicated. Here is the XML format where I am running into problems: Code: [Select] <Agent> <Person Last='Smith' First='John'> <Addresses /> <PhoneNumbers> <Phone Type='1' Number='888-555-1212'> </PhoneNumbers> </Person> </Agent> Here is my php: Code: [Select] $xmlOutput = new SimpleXMLElement('<?xml version="1.0"?><ReportRequest> </ReportRequest>'); $xmlOutput->addAttribute('CID','9200'); $xmlOutput->addAttribute('Diagram','1'); $xmlOutput->addAttribute('DueDate','2011-11-15'); $xmlOutput->addAttribute('NumPhotos','6'); $xmlOutput->addAttribute('InspectAfter',''); $xmlOutput->addAttribute('PolicyNumber','JTC0004425'); $reportType = $xmlOutput->addChild('ReportType'); $reportType->addAttribute('CPType','Commercial'); $reportType->addAttribute('SectionIDs',''); $reportType->addAttribute('Description',''); $reportType->addAttribute('ReportTypeID','123'); $locations = $xmlOutput->addChild('Locations')->addChild('Addresses')->addChild('Address'); $locations->addAttribute('Zip','91216'); $locations->addAttribute('City','Chatsworth'); $locations->addAttribute('Line1','123 Main St'); $locations->addAttribute('Line2','Suite 201'); $locations->addAttribute('State','CA'); $locations->addAttribute('Latitude',''); $locations->addAttribute('Longitude',''); $agent = $xmlOutput->addChild('Agent')->addChild('Person')->addChild('Addresses')->addChild('PhoneNumbers')->addChild('Phone'); $agent->addAttribute('Last','Smith'); $agent->addAttribute('Email',''); $agent->addAttribute('First','John'); $agent->addAttribute('Title',''); $agent->addAttribute('Type','1'); $agent->addAttribute('Number','888-555-1212'); $agent->addAttribute('TypeName','Office'); $agent->addAttribute('Extension',''); Header('Content-type: text/xml'); echo $xmlOutput->asXML(); Everything outputs as it should until the line that starts with $agent. I want the output to match the section above. I have tried several variations but I cannot seem to figure it out. I know the current PHP sample doesn't work. Help?? Thanks in advance, John I have a code for writing a log file... The code is working fine but it inserts the new details at the bottom of the file but i want to insert in the top... So what function should i use... Here is the file my_log.php Code: [Select] <?php $usname = $_SESSION['usname']; date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Calcutta'); $date = date("l dS \of F Y h:i:s A"); $file = "log.php"; $open = fopen($file, "a+"); fseek($open,289); fwrite($open "<b><br/>USER NAME:</b> ".$usname . "<br/>"); fwrite($open, "<b>Date & Time:</b> ".$date. "<br/>"); fwrite($open, "<b>What have they done :</b> ".$reason . "<br/><br/>"); fclose($open); ?> and here is my log.php file : Code: [Select] <?php session_start(); if($_SESSION['stage']!=1 || $_SESSION['stage2']!=2) {header('location:index.php'); die(" "); } ?> <?php if($_GET['valu']=="view_log") { $reason=" ".$_SESSION['usname']." Viewed the LOG"; include('my_log.php'); header('location:log.php'); die(""); } // bytes till here are 289 //LINE 1 : Log details have to insert here I want to insert every detail from the top of the page but just below the php code.. What should i do... ANy helo would be appreciated Pranshu Agrawal pranshu.a.11@gmail.com I'm trying to write to a file with the following code. $fh = fopen("../inc/config.php", "a") or die("\r\nCan't open file."); $write = "\$config['database_host'] = {$mysqlh}; \$config['database_user'] = {$mysqlu}; \$config['datbase_pass'] = {$mysqlp}; \$config['datbase_name'] = {$dbn}; \$config['table_prefix'] = {$tp};"; fwrite($fh, $write); fclose($fh); It is printing out "Can't open file", which I guess means it can't find the file or I've given the wrong path. The file that is executing this code is /install and the file I'm trying to write to is /inc/config.php. I thought .. put you up a directory so if I do .. I will be at the root and then do /inc I will be in inc. Can someone please guide me on what I'm doing wrong? Thanks. |
