PHP and MailMerge

Post by keithh0427 »

Is it possible to perform a mailmerge with Microsoft Word using PHP and a MySQL database?

I know that I can export the data and then do the mailmerge manually. What I'd like to do is to execute a php script and create the document(s).

[php_man]COM[/php_man] can do those things... although it's not the most fun to go through...

Yeah I think COM is the only way if you want to dynamically access the word doc. Def not fun/stable/etc

Thanks. Given that, I think I'll just use the fpdf.lib and do it in PDF. Same results in the end.
