Based on the information I read in www.php.net on the header command I wrote
a dummy test script to try to convert the contents of $stuff to MS Word
downloadable format:
http://www.php.net/header
Code:
$stuff = '<html><head><title>stuff</title></head><body><b>Hello</b>
World</body></html>';
header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT"); // Date in
the past
header("Last-Modified: " . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s") . " GMT"); // always
modified
header("Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate"); //
HTTP/1.1
header("Cache-Control: post-check=0, pre-check=0", false);
header("Pragma: no-cache"); //
HTTP/1.0
header("Content-type: application/msword; filename=stuff.doc");
//header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=stuff.doc");
echo $stuff;
However, upon attempting to run this script I ran into the following error
in IE:
Internet Explorer could not open this script: test.php (note: I am trying to
change it to be "stuff.doc"). Nothing ever showed up.
test.php (the code you see) is in a Linux environment in a folder protected
by .htaccess.
In NS 7.0 it produces no errors but it tries to save the downloaded file as
"test.php" and not "stuff.doc".
I am unsure how to do this in PHP although I can do it in TCL and have done
it that way before, that, however, is not an option here.
Please help, I'm stuck at the very beginning of attempting customized simple
reporting.
Thanx
Phil
