How can I add a Word document to another Word document with PHP (fwrite)?
$filename = "./1.doc";
$handle = fopen($filename, "r");
$contents = fread($handle, filesize($filename));
$filename2 = "./2.doc";
$handle2 = fopen($filename2, "r");
$contents2 = fread($handle2, filesize($filename2));
$contents3 =$contents2.$contents;
$fp = fopen("./3.doc", 'w+');
fwrite($fp, $contents);
3.doc only contains 1.doc.
First of all, you're only actually fwriting() the $contents variable, not $contents3.
The real problem though will be that the internal structure of a Word document is more complex. A Word document contains a certain amount of preamble and wrapping. If you simply concatenate two Word documents, you'll probably* only be left with a garbage file. You would need a library that can parse Word files, extract only the actual text content, concatenate the text and save it as a new Word file.
*)Tested it just for the fun of it, Word indeed can't do anything with a file made of two concatenated .doc files.
I wouldn't bother with fopen for the first two, just file_get_contents(), then fopen 3.doc and write to it that way
$file1 = (is_file("./1.doc"))?file_get_contents("./1.doc"):"";
$file2 = (is_file("./2.doc"))?file_get_contents("./2.doc"):"";
$file3_cont = $file1.$file2;
if(is_file("./3.doc")){
if(($fp = @fopen("./3.doc", "w+")) !== false){
if(fwrite($fp, $file3_cont) !== false){
echo "File 3 written.";
}
}
}
