Is it possible to manipulate MS Word documents using PHP - on linux?

[uncleronin]

I'm running Apache, PHP and MySQL on a linux box. I have a word document template. I want to replace certain text within that word document. Is this possible to do on Linux or can it only be done on Windows?

Not that I'm aware of. There's a PEAR package to write excel. You'd have better luck with PDF's I think.

>_< That sucks much. Its a pity I can't use Word docs but PDF is always cool. There's probably a huge number of helpful pdf stuff floating around. Shot for the input.

I have looked into this myself recent. There are free classes out there to write out RTF but not Word Doc. You could write out an RTF file and give it a .doc extension

 

Try the PHPClasses website.
