Include an image in a MS word

Post by lauryn1298 »

Hello,

I must generate a report as a word document and I also have to embed images, that I have saved in my files system, into this word document, so customer can download this word document into his/her own pc and still can see this images.

Generating word document with php is not a problem. But I really get stuck with embedding images into word. I try many ways but they doen't work.

I tried doing it with:

header("Content-type: application/vnd.ms-word");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment;Filename=".$name_report.".doc");

and after displaying different echo with html code. I put the full path for the images, but I obtain an error.

I found some solutions with COM class, but most of my costumers don't use Windows, they use Linux.

Any idea or advices will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Try making it an XML file and opening it in Word that way.
