creating a word document from php

Does anyone know if there is a class for creating doc files? I have seen
ones for pdf and excel spreadsheets.
Thanks in advance.

If you can rely on Office 2000 or later then I recommend generating a
Word compatible HTML document. That way you can link the same page as:
www.my-script.html
and www.my-script.doc

and hey-presto you get either a webpage or a document!

The easiest way to do this is to create a template in Word and save as
HTML. Use str_replace or regexps to fill in the content.

If you need to handle earlier Word then use RTF (rubbish text format) to
pass to Word. It's not as obvious though.

Creating MS Word Doc is bit hard (IMHO). The best hack I have ever
seen is <http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=PEE4b.41571%24Qy4.22048%40fed1read05>
