hi,

is it possible to call MS Office / Open office application using PHP code?

what i want to do is, pipe data retrieved from mysql through php into an excel sheet, so i can generate graphs.

if the server has COM support, yes. But you can do graphing in PHP... jpgraph for instance..

there's sources like the documentation, which is inside the download. There's also the jpgraph support forums: http://jpgraph.intellit.nl/index.php

some online resources at jpgraph: http://www.aditus.nu/jpgraph/documentation.php
