Hello coders,
I have a big problem to solve. I have an application(PHP+MYSQL+ JAVASCRIPT) that runs on a Linux server. One of the futures of this application is to create office document (word, powerpoint, excel) with data saved in mysql database.
There is a way to do that bun not on a linux server(only windosws)
Can anyone help with a sollution for that?
Maibe using other languages too or.
....I don't know how, but I have to keep this application on a linux server and I have to take the data from that database.
Thank's.well, there is no COM in linux. COM is a MS invention, a way for other apps / languages to talk to the windows (and other MS apps) API.If you're just outputting the file to the browser via display/download, you can, at least for Excel, send HTML or XML (later Excel versions) with a XLS MIME type in the header, and it should work.
The same might hold true for Word, dunno about Powerpoint. I've only tried this with Excel before, but I'd hope Word would play ball as well.
