I haven't found a solution yet and currently use a workaround (create an html
document and send a faked content-type header before sending the content).
I will have to find a way using WORD with COM because the business requires
documents with watermarks, page counters, etc and that's just not possible with
my current "solution".
To get back to your question: I tried a simple Internet Explorer COM call ...
[CODE]
<?php
$iExplore = new COM("InternetExplorer.Application");
sleep(10);
?>
[/CODE]
... and an instance of Internet Explorer (iexplore.exe) appears in the task
list and is automatically disposed when the script ends - I don't even have to
call $iExplore->Quit();
Seems as if it is not a general PHP issue but has to do with Word? Do you have
any hints for Office-Automation via COM or did you do some tests with different
Office and PHP versions? If other versions are more stable, then I would
probably have another version installed on the server instead Office 2003.
I will set up a small VBScript to call WINWORD and see if the instance will
remain in the task list, perhaps this helps clarify the issue.
Thanks for helping!
Sascha
