Re: creating a .doc file in php

Thanks Marco, So I would just create the .rtf file with php, then store it on the server and attach it to the e-mail? If most of your document is going to be the same each time, I would create the basic document in MS Word, saving it as an rtf file. Then manually edit it with a text editor (e.g. NotePad) and put in replaceable parameters marked with starting and ending tags (e.g. ##). Then your php code need only parse the file and replace dummy names (e.g. ##name##) with the actual data (e.g. Fred Bloggs).

This is what I do for an application. It is a lot less work than trying to write rtf itself. Hope this helps Chris
