sabatier Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Hi, I'm doing a college project which involves automatically generating student transcripts from a MySQL database. I want to be able to create a system whereby the user enters the student no, and a Word document is automatically generated which displays the student's results in a a letter format. I am able to create the Word document no problem; it's the formatting that I'm having trouble with. If, say, the student is in fourth year, then the Word document must display four sets of results, like the document I attached. So my question is this: What's the best way to generate a Word document like the one I attached, where four year's results will neatly fit on one page? Should I do a HTML template within PHP or have some mechanism to paste the data into a Word template? Or is there a better way to do it? I'd really appreciate your suggestions! sabatier [attachment deleted by admin] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerRobot Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 You can create word documents on the fly with php. See: http://web.informbank.com/articles/technology/php-office-documents.htm I've never done it myself though, and Im not sure how you would go about using that to create tables. But its worth a look.
