PHP to create a word document with page breaks


WordChocolate

Recommended Posts

I need to be able to create a word document with php on the fly.  Then I need to write to it, preferably using html.  The problem is, I need to have page breaks.  The code would look something like this:

$filepnt = fopen("hellohtml.doc", 'w+');
$content = "<html><head></head><body>";
while(){
    $content.= "other stuff";
//  $content.= PAGE BREAK GOES HERE
}
fwrite($filepnt, $content);
fclose($filepnt);

Unfortunately, I don't think it's possible to have page breaks when writing to the word document with html.  I understand there are other ways to write a word document with php.  I tried using COM libraries (whatever the heck that is) but copying the code gives me a fatal error.  I tried searching google for code but I couldn't find any, at least none that were phrased in such a way that I was able to understand it.

If you can help me, please dumb your answers down so I can understand them.
