Hi,
I currently create my multipage docs by saving my word templates as chunks
of rtf and then calling them as required as a very long string then
outputting them to an rtf file and renaming it as '*.doc'. It works great
except for the filesize which comes out at 900k for a two-page document.
Opening in Word and saving reduces the file down dramatically, but that
would prevent auto-generation and emailing - without human intervention.
Does anyone know how to either create multipage docs in Word format to begin
with, or to convert (on the fly) rtf to doc, or to save rtf as smaller file?

I've only read about being able to generate a Word document if you are
running under Windows (which I am not). I gave up long ago trying to
figure out the rtf spec to auto generate Word documents. I do exactly
what you do, except I generate HTML instead and attach a .doc to the
file. The Word document actually ends up being larger than the HTML
document, but I don't do all that much formatting.
What you are looking for is something like the opposite of AntiWord,
unless AntiWord has a reverse option.

Hi all
I was wondering if it is normal that when posting to the php-general
list there is always a very long delay before messages are shown.
It's not like with snail mail. Sending mail messages is instant so
where is the delay?
I think John Nichel took over the job of filtering the list of spam :)
Hell, my mail server skills may not rank elite, but I would hope I could
get the messages delivered faster than this. ;)

That, of course, is exacerbated by the delay. If it takes 4 hours for
responses to appear, it will seem to others on the list in that time that
no-one else has responded.
And I'd personally rather 'too many' people replied, than too few or none at
all.

Hi:
Adding a detail to my previous note on the mysql connect problem:
At the point where I attempted to connect, I added a printout of the
error generated when the instruction ran. The two lines now read:
$result = mysql_pconnect("localhost", "api_user", "x97533");
echo "Tried to connect. Problem: ".mysql_error()." <br>";
What came back was:
Tried to connect. Problem: Client does not support authentication
protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client
Thanks for your help.
Jim
Check the archives/Google/MySQL's site/etc. This 'problem' has been
discussed numerous times.

Hi,
I have just landed a small project to port a database schema from what I can
only
describe as an ancient version of Informix to mySQL. The version
specifically is
4.11.UC3 and I would like to be able to srript the upgrade through PHP, as
there
is a lot of transformation needing to be done to the data. However, I am
unable
to find any client libraries for this version of Informis from the ISM
web-site
or anwhere else that google has thrown up for that matter.
So, I was wondering, pretty please, if anyone on the list has had experience
of
getting this database to hook up to PHP or knew of a place to download the
client
libraries so that I can have a bash myself?
TIA,
Mikey

hi all.
i have 2 class files. say for example.
class 1
class 2 extends class 1
class 2 uses include_once("firstclass.php")
then i use include_once ("secondclass.php") in my template. this does
not work. to get it to work, i must put both the files as includes in
my template.
any ideas why?
thanks,
charles

Sorry folks. Figured it out: in httpd.conf it wasn't in the first or
second AllowOverride section (which I had set to All and that's why I
was so gobsmacked) BUT it was in the "Control access to UserDir
directories" section.
Thanks everyone!
