Solution 1

I've decided to go with the pro version of the library http://www.phpdocx.com/ as it simplifies the whole process. I hope it'll fill my needs.

Solution 2

Finally, I settled with this answer to create a doc (simply output html and Word will recognize it):

    header( 'Content-Type: application/msword' ); 
    header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=" .date("Y-m-d").".doc");  
    /*
    header("Content-type: application/vnd.ms-word");
    header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=" .date("Y-m-d").".rtf");
    */
    $html = preg_replace('%/[^\\s]+\\.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif)%i', 'http://www.akubocrm.com\\0', $html);

    print "<html xmlns:v=\"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml\"";
    print "xmlns:o=\"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office\"";
    print "xmlns:w=\"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word\"";
    print "xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40\">";
    print "<xml>
     <w:WordDocument>
      <w:View>Print</w:View>
      <w:DoNotHyphenateCaps/>
      <w:PunctuationKerning/>
      <w:DrawingGridHorizontalSpacing>9.35 pt</w:DrawingGridHorizontalSpacing>
      <w:DrawingGridVerticalSpacing>9.35 pt</w:DrawingGridVerticalSpacing>
     </w:WordDocument>
    </xml>
    ";

    die($html);

I've been successfully able to generate a .docx document with https://github.com/djpate/docxgen but as soon as i try to include TinyMCE text, i no longer can open the document. (non valid char).

Is there a way to convert the HTML text before giving it to docxgen to avoid such error?

This software is privative and you have to pay to use almost every useful function, so it isn't a good solution.

It's better than nothing. If you have a better solution, feel free to add it.

Did phpdocx.com fill your needs Tristan? I too am thinking about buying this (embedHTML() is in the pro version)

Yeah but I must warn you that the library is way beyond good coding standard but it does what we need.
