PHP - Generating Word Documents

niramlar

Hello All.,

I need help with the code for this :

I have generated PDf documents with writing lot of variables directly from DB using PEAR Classes.

I need to generate Word document with dynamic header/footer, content, directly from the DB and formatting in tables columns in some places. where the data comes from the tables, its not static again.

I am not able to get source code or unable to do it with COM lib.

Can someone help, I nearing the deadline of my project.

Thanks in advance.

I have been searching for this forever.

You can check the following things:

http://poi.apache.org/

Or if your skilled enough,

http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/OpenOffice.org_Developers_Guide

You can write an implementation, using something like PHP Java (php 4) or PHP Java Bridge to use the OpenOffice libraries, this also requires Apache Tomcat to be installed.

A whole-php implementation would a HUGE undertaking.

Note: Zend Server CE also has a Java Bridge built in if that is an option.

I hope this is of some help...

How about the open source phpdocx:
http://www.phpdocx.com/

It only creates docx, Word's new XML formatted documents.

Even cooler...
