Re: Editing Word Documents

Of course you can open and edit any file in PHP you just need to know the file format. But I highly doubt there is any method using PHP that will allow you to prompt the opening of a file into an external application. Editing of the file would have to be done in memory, or manually in the browser (HTML form, textarea field). Unfortunately Microsoft is notoriously protective of its file formats. -Kevin ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Hewitt" <g0pae@manordat.demon.co.uk> To: "David Russell" <DavidR@BarloworldOptimus.com> Cc: "php-general" <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Monday, July 08, 2002 11:51 AM Subject: Re: [PHP] Editing Word Documents > David Russell wrote: > > > ------------snip---------------------- > > 5.
