Open file, choose file, save as web page, close file ~ 2 minutes
200 files * 2 minutes = 400 minutes ~ 7 hours
How much hours have you wasted looking for a php script?
even if it takes him 14 hours to find a script and get it working
he will have:
a, learnt quite abit about php'ing/html/etc
b, have the basis for a tool that can convert any future .doc
files that he finds/get thrown at him.
Martin the suggestion you give sucks because it doesn't empower,
it leaves Dotan with a sore wrist and no gain in knowledge...
maybe it's good advice for 'noobs' on an Office mailing
but this is a lsit about programming (sure it's php and plenty of IT
related people consider us phpers to be the pretty much the lowest form
of programmer - well not as low as VBscripters ;-) - anyone reading, posting
here, I would hope, aspires to a little more than PHB's secretary with
regards to their IT skills.
Anyway, I understand... it's a pain in the ass. Whay you're doing wrong is:
you have turned your solution into a problem and forgot what the real
problem was.
this assumes there is a 'problem' - maybe Dotan is driven more or less
by a desire to see if he can do it rather than being up against some deadline
or having his boss breathing down his neck waiting for a result?
