Generating word documents with PHP
Solution 1
Generating word documents with JS:
I have created a simple open-source library that will replace tags by values.
For example Hi {name} with data={name:"John"} will be replaced by Hi John.
Here it is : https://github.com/edi9999/docxtemplater

Solution 2
See here:

To quote from the article the most common method:
Using HTTP Headers
In this method you need to format the HTML/PHP page using Word-friendly CSS and add header information to your PHP script. Make sure you don't use external style sheets since everything should be in the same file.
As a result user will be prompted to download a file. This file will not be 100% "original" Word document, but it certainly will open in MS Word application. You can use this method both for Unix and Windows environments.
<?php
header("Content-type: application/vnd.ms-word");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment;Filename=document_name.doc");
echo "<html>";
echo "<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=Windows-1252\">";
echo "<body>";
echo "<b>My first document</b>";
echo "</body>";
echo "</html>";
?>

Do you know any way to generate
docanddocxfiles with PHP and without COM component? I've triedPHPWord, which creates docx files, but these cannot be opened inOpenOfficebecause they cause it to crash. I've also triedPHPDocx, but it didn't generate any files at all.
