How to convert html to word using php?

Question

I am trying to convert HTML to MS WORD document (.doc/.docx) with PHP script. With the available scripts from internet I am able to convert the text of HTML to doc. But I need total html with inline css will be in my doc.I made one script

$html = file_get_contents('html path');
$tags = "<br>";
$test = strip_tags($page,$html);
$breaks = array("<br />","<br>","<br/>");  
$text = str_ireplace($breaks, "\r\n", $test);  
$text = iconv('UTF-8', 'ASCII//TRANSLIT',$text);
$handle = fopen("newdoc.doc", "w+");
fwrite($handle, $text);
fclose($handle);

Answer 1

just keep following code in top of the page need to convert:

<? header("Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-word");
header("Expires: 0");
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
header("content-disposition: attachment;filename=Report.doc");
?>

I would highly recommend PHPdocx as it does exactly what your asking for, but at a cost. I purchased it sometime ago and use it frequently.

require_once 'pathToPHPDocX/classes/CreateDocx.inc';
$docx = new CreateDocx();
$html='http://www.2mdc.com/PHPDOCX/simpleHTML_Image.html';
$docx->embedHTML($html, array('isFile' => true, 'downloadImages' => true));
$docx->createDocx('simpleHTML');

I am currently working through something similar and have gone with

• PHPWord

Huge amount of information on the site to get you started and you can style each element how you would like.

Images can be added simply with: $section->addImage($src, [$style]);

I would take a look. Its a bit more involved than what you are currently using, but allows you to do what you need.
