Using PHP4 COM functions with MS Word
Now, we have all we need to start with the first code example:
<?php
#*********************************************************
# This example, slightly modified from the Zend site,
# will open an instance of word with a new
# document with the name "Useless test.doc" and the line:
# "This is a test2..." typed inside.
#*********************************************************
#Instantiate the Word component.
$word = new COM("word.application") or die("Unable to instantiate Word");
#Get and print its version
print "Loaded Word, version {$word->Version}<BR>";
#Another way to get the version using com_get
$testversion = com_get($word->application,version);
print "Version using Com_get(): $testversion <BR>";
#Make it visible in a window
$word->Visible = 1;
#Open a new document
$word->Documents->Add();
#Write something
$word->Selection->TypeText("This is a test...");
#Now save the document
$word->Documents[1]->SaveAs("Useless test.doc");
#Comment next line if you want to see the word document,
#then close word manually
$word->Quit();
#Comment if you want to see the word document, then close
?>
If you study this example for a few minutes using the OLE documentation that comes with
Word, you will learn practically all you need to write your own program.
