Word Doc export

Post by kbrown3074 »

I am looking to create a form letter(word doc) that will get filled in with customer data. Would the use of a table with blob data in it work? I was thinking of dumping the letter verbiage into fields and exporting the data that way. I could use PHP4 or PHP5. Is there a wicked PHP script/class/function that can accomplish this?
