Generating WORD document

[Anon]

Currently, my system generates a HTML document based on the values passed and retrieves the contents of the documents from MySQL database.

Instead of HTML document, I want to generate an ms WORD document containing the same contents that the HTML document has.
Can any of you give me some help or recommendations?

Thank you.

You can use the COM class as follows

$word = new COM("word.application") or die("Unable to start Ms Word");

$word->Visible = 0;

//$contents will be the string you want to convert to a Word document
$word->Documents->Add("$contents");

$word->Documents[1]->SaveAs("filename.doc");

$word->Quit();

$word->Release();
$word = null;

I tried the COM method but got this error:
