Hi,

I got a task to do, I was ask whether is it possible to do mailmerge
on OO Doc using PHP ?
my client wants me to fill in their doc with data from database. is it
possible to do that ?
I search on the google, but got nothing.

can it work in linux server (with OO installed off course)

thx

Mailmerge in OO is kinda horrible. I think there are PHP interfaces
for OO, but it'd probably be a lot simpler just to work with the XML
(an OO doc is a set of files, mostly XML, gzipped up together).
