Display ms word as html

[Gurgle Smirk]

Hi Folks,

Well another day another php.
What I have is a php script that displays a text file (stored in the $filedata variable),...

<?
$filedata = '';
if ( $fh = fopen( "menulist.txt", "r" ) )
{
while ( $buffer = fread( $fh, 4096 ) )
{
$filedata .= $buffer;
}
}
else
{
print "Oops.. couldn't open file";
}
?>
<table>
<tr>
<td><?= nl2br( $filedata ) ?></td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>

Easy enough - it works with text or html. I found a snippet of code that allows me to, say, take a (crappy) MSWORD html doc and strip all the aforementioned "crap" out of it. However, am I correct in assuming the $text variable below should be mapped to the $filedata variable?


function cleanUpHTML($text) {

// remove escape slashes
$text = stripslashes($text);

// trim everything before the body tag right away, leaving possibility for body attributes
$text = stristr( $text, "<body");

// strip tags, still leaving attributes, second variable is allowable tags
$text = strip_tags($text, '<p><b><i><u><a><h1><h2><h3><h4><h4><h5> <h6>');

// removes the attributes for allowed tags, use separate replace for heading tags since a
// heading tag is two characters
$text = ereg_replace("<([p|b|i|u])[^>]*>", "<\\1>", $text);
$text = ereg_replace("<([h1|h2|h3|h4|h5|h6][1-6])[^>]*>", "<\\1>", $text);

return ($text);

}

?>

I appreciate your help.

Thanks.

Yes, you are correct. You would call it like this:

$cleanned = cleanUpHTML($filedata);

That's what I thought, it was the call that threw me a bit - I'm not as stupid as I thought,..or maybe I am, I dunno, but thanks!
