Why not just provide them with two different links to the document-- one version includes the tag, the other doesn't.

hi,

header("Content-type: application/vnd-ms.word"); is not what my customers
want. They may or may not want to save it in their harddisk.. but having the
header at the beginning of my page will force them to save it in their
harddisk. Some of the customers just want to view it on the web while others
want to view it in Word and possibly edit it and then save it.. how can i
achieve such flexibility for them?

thank you!!

Send before any content, an MS-Word header :

header("Content-type: application/vnd-ms.word");

Then output your HTML.

Hi

My customers would like to save my php outputs in a word document file

and


so I have added a meta tag <META NAME="ProgID" CONTENT="word.document">

in


my php files. However, my File->Edit button in IE6 is greyed out. why? i
see that other php files on other websites allow Edit, why is it that my
programs don't allow it??

thanx for any insights!!

regards,
Hwee Hwee
