Word document

Post by sandy1028 »

How to write the php script to open in a word format. I tried the code below which opens in word document but the contents are not dynamic.

The data collected in the function is fetched from the database which is updated for every 2 minutes.

The word page is not getting refreshed.

Code: Select all

 
$rec=clusteravail();
array_shift($rec);
header("Content-type: application/msword");
echo "<html><head><title>REPORT</title><meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"100\"></head><body bgcolor=\"#FFFFFF\" text=\"#000000\"><TABLE BORDER=2 CELLPADDING=4 width=\"100%\"><TR><TH COLSPAN=8>DATE AS ON 2008-02-27</TH></TR><TR><TH COLSPAN=8>Head and CLIENT NODE Status of Garuda Network</TH></TR><TR><TD>SL NO</TD><TD>CLIENT NODE NAME</TD><TD>IP ADDRESS</TD><TD>HEAD NODE NAME</TD><TD>START TIME</TD><TD>END TIME</TD><TD>DURATION</TD></TR>";
for($i=0;$i<=count($rec);$i++){
$data=split("#",$rec[$i]);
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>$i</td>";
echo "<td>$data[0]</td>";
echo "<td>$data[1]</td>";
echo "<td>$data[2]</td>";
echo "<td>$data[3]</td>";
echo "<td>$data[4]</td>";
echo "<td>$data[5]</td>";
}
echo "</tr></table></body></html>";

You can set the header to refresh every 2 minutes if you want it to continually update. Another thing you can do to help is set it so it doesn't cache.

Please tell me any other solution to open the document in word file when the data gets refreshed.

When i try to open the word file it opens the word file which was opened for the first time. The values is not dynamic
