Hi all
thanx for the suggestions! yah, now i give my customers 2 buttons that will
direct them to 2 functionalities.
however, I still have a problem!! =(
i'm using 2 headers:
header("Content-type: application/vnd-ms.word");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=agent.doc");
why is it that the core of my .doc file is still in html?? i mean, i pulled
the file agent.doc into Notepad and I see html codes being generated. This
is very bad for me because my file has some graphics in it. If the core of
my file is html, the graphics will be a link instead of being embedded into
my documents. As a result, whoever tries to save that page will not be able
to see the graphics, unless they save the graphics into their computer with
the exact folder directory too! Please help me.
thank you!!
regards,
hwee
