backslashes are the general escape character in PHP. either you use single quotation marks (unparsed string) or you escape the backslashes (with backslashes).

\f - form feed character

Is there any function to set up header and footer in a word document using php

Dormilich

not that I’m aware of, seems rather unlikely (most servers do not run windows)

Sajeena

i have searched through so many documents ,but not found nay way to set header and footer for a word document using php while i create the document using COM functions.Its very urgent for me

Dormilich

I can’t help you much there, never used COM objects before. Judging from the manual I’d say you need the Word OLE Interface (because that what’s COM working with) to find header/footer functionality.
