Re: Viewing Word Documents using PHP

This is not the appropriate list for this question - you should ask the PHP
general list on http://www.php.net/

However, all you have to do is make sure you set the content type properly:

header('Content-Type: application/msword');
readfile('file.doc');

Chris

ps. If application/msword doesn't work, try application/octet-stream.

pps. For a full list of mime types, the mime.types file in your apache
configuration.
