I am able to generate a Microsoft word file, but I want the data in table structure. I have used an HTML table tag in PHP, but the output does not look satisfactory. In the table are a lot of cellspacing and cellpadding even if I have initialize them to zero space. Any idea how can I solve this?
here goes my code
header("Content-type: application/vnd.ms-word");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment;Filename=document_name.doc");
$now_date = date('d-m-Y H:i');
echo "<html>";
echo "<body>";
echo "</body>";
echo "<head>";
echo "<div>Seminarthema:</div>\n";
echo "<div>Termin:$now_date</div>";
echo "<br></br>";
echo "<div style='size:20px;'><h2>Teilnehmerliste</h2></div>";
echo "<table border='1' cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0'>
<tr><th>Name</th><th>Vorname</th><th>Buchungskreis</th><th>Kurs-ID</th><th>Teilgenommen</th></tr>";
$students = $GLOBALS["TYPO3_DB"]->exec_SELECTquery('*','tx_training_Registration','hidden=0 AND deleted=0');
$countstud = $GLOBALS['TYPO3_DB']->sql_num_rows($students);
if($countstud){
while($row2 = $GLOBALS['TYPO3_DB']->sql_fetch_assoc($students)){
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>".utf8_decode($row2['firstname'])."</td>";
echo "<td>".utf8_decode($row2['lastname'])."</td>";
echo "<td>".utf8_decode($row2['companycode'])."</td>";
echo "<td>".utf8_decode($row2['trainingid'])."</td>";
echo "<td>".utf8_decode($row2[' status'])."</td>";
echo "</tr>";
}
}
echo "</table>";
echo "</head>";
echo "</html>";
Why not consider creating a “real” Word document rather than a “make-believe that HTML is actually Word” file. Take a look at PHPWord.
