I am creating a story site for my son and I have a client that also needs this same function.
I added a button to the edit page of the STORIES table and added this code:
$_GET['storytext']
$fp = fopen("story.doc", 'w+');
fwrite($fp, $_POST['storytext']);
fclose($fp);
The field's name is storytext in the table Stories.
I want the user to press the SAVE DOC FILE button and it then saves the contents of the field to a text or doc file
on the user's computer.
I found the above code on the internet, but it does not work. Theoretically, you can issue the fwrite command and it will write to
a file. There are some necessary headers that have to be coded somewhere, but not sure where. Here are the headers:
header("Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-word");
header("Expires: 0");
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
header("content-disposition: attachment;filename=story.doc");
Any advice is appreciated.
Mike
