I don't know of any scripts or classes that can edit word docs, but it may
be possible to create one. Taking a look at the source of some word docs,
or maybe how OpenOffice opens them, might help. More "open" formats, like
RTF, are easier to edit.

I was talking about creating on online editor there, but maybe you just need
the user to download the file, edit it in MS Word and upload it? That
would be much easier.

Creating DOC files is a nightmare because it relies on the version of Word.
Creating RTF files is much easier even though the RTF format is a pain to read.

Personnaly, I use RTF Generator, a PHP proggy. It's simple and fast. I just create html-like document and off you go.

Brendan,

If I understand you correctly, you want to open and edit a word
document using PHP. If so, this can be done using COM in PHP. To open
and, say, add some text to an exisitng word doc and save it as
something else, you may go:

*********************
<?php
word=new COM("Word.Application") or die("Cannot
start word");
word->Visible=true ; // If you want to see it (false if
not)

word->Documents->Open(../full path and filename to word
doc here/..);
word->ActiveDocument->Typetext("A bit of extra
text");
word->ActiveDocument->SaveAs(../full path & filename
to new doc here/..);

word->Documents->Close();
word->Quit();

//Free the object
word->Release();

?>
************************

I have used this technique successfully, but I have found it difficult
to locate a comprehensive reference guide to the commands available.
I've just basically picked the eye's out of other
examples...(if anyone has one, please let me know..)

A simple example of this is located here:

And here is a full on Mailmerge example to show the extent of what you
can actually do in MS word from PHP:

PS. I agree with Choowie - RTF or PDF is a much better way to go if
you can, but alas we don't always have a choice..!!
