note 29830 added to class.variant

With thanks to Harald Radi and Wez Furlong. Some VBA functions have optional parameters. Sometimes the parameters you want to pass are not consecutive. e.g. GoTo What:=wdGoToBookmark, Name="BookMarkName" GoTo(wdGoToBookmark,,,"BookMarkName) In PHP, the "blank" parameters need to be empty. Which is ... <?php // Some servers may have an auto timeout, so take as long as you want. set_time_limit(0); // Show all errors, warnings and notices whilst developing. error_reporting(E_ALL); // Used as a placeholder in certain COM functions where no parameter is required. $empty = new VARIANT(); // Load the appropriate type library. com_load_typelib('Word.Application'); // Create an object to use. $word = new COM('word.application') or die('Unable to load Word'); print "Loaded Word, version {$word->Version}\n"; // Open a new document with bookmarks of YourName and YourAge. $word->Documents->Open('C:/Unfilled.DOC'); // Fill in the information from the form. $word->Selection->GoTo(wdGoToBookmark,$empty,$empty,'YourName'); // Note use of wdGoToBookmark, from the typelibrary and the use of $empty. $word->Selection->TypeText($_GET['YourName']); $word->Selection->GoTo(wdGoToBookmark,$empty,$empty,'YourAge'); $word->Selection->TypeText($_GET['YourAge']); // Save it, close word and finish. $word->Documents[1]->SaveAs("C:/{$_GET['YourName']}.doc"); $word->Quit(); $word->Release(); $word = null; print "Word closed.\n"; ?> The example document is ... Hello [Bookmark of YourName], you are [Bookmark of YourAge] years old. and it would be called ... word.php?YourName=Richard%20Quadling&YourAge=35 Regards, Richard. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/class.variant.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+29830 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+29830 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+29830
