Re: [PHP] php external interfaces
well i know the command shell_exec(), that work like console, just put de
command as paramether. More info in php documentation.
For COM objects
for example,
$word = new COM("word.application") or die("Unable to instantiate
application object");
$wordDocument = new COM("word.document") or die("Unable to
instantiate document object");
$word->Visible = 0;
$wordDocument = $word->Documents->Open($DocumentPath);
$HTMLPath = substr_replace($DocumentPath, 'txt', -3, 3);
$wordDocument->SaveAs($HTMLPath, 3);
$wordDocument = null;
$word->Quit();
$word = null;
this opens a word document and save it as .txt document. there should be
more info in the MSDN documentation.
