I want to start word and pass some data from a webpage into the word document. This will start by pushing a button on the webpage.
I found a web page (http://www.phpbuilder.net/columns/alain20001003.php3) that explains how to do it if you have a windows version of PHP. However, we have a Linux server with Apache, MySQL and PHP 4.1.2 and it does not work.
Question: Can it be done with the Linux Box?

Hi,
Windows people execute WScript, a M$ thingy, that then allows them to execute Windows programs.
Since I'm not really proficient in php, I can't say with any certainty whether it can execute Word. However, if you have Word on Linux, there may be a Linux version of WScript -- but you'd have to check at http:msdn.microsoft.com or your Linux provider.
