generating RTF file from PHP

[kadnan]

Hello

i have to write a program which will convert the data from database into RTF formal for downloading for users

i did find a link for rtf writing in php but that was very basic and doesn`t allow formatting like BOLD and alignment etc

i used file function to read a RTF file and it shows content along with header

but when i write same data by using fputs() it doesnt render the RTF specif code and it just sows the content in RTF

help me please

Does the host machine have Word installed? In that case you could open a COM wrapper and probably do anything Word can do.

Not that lucky? In that case you'll probably need to wade through the RTF Specification [msdn.microsoft.com] (also available here [latex2rtf.sourceforge.net]) to find out what you need to do.

Basically,

{This is RTF with }
{\b bold}{ text

I assume that was just one example of what you're trying to do, though.

what do you mean by a com wrapper?
