Problem in generating ms Word document

Currently, my system generates a HTML document based on the values passed and retrieves the contents of the documents from MySQL database.

Instead of HTML document, I want to generate an ms WORD document containing the same contents that the HTML document has.
Can any of you give me some help or recommendations?

So, i tried the code below..i pasted the whole thing just above the html code for the page I want to make into a WORD document.
----------------------------
$word = new COM("word.application") or die("Unable to start Ms Word");

$word->Visible = 0;

//$contents will be the string you want to convert to a Word document
$word->Documents->Add("$contents");

$word->Documents[1]->SaveAs("filename.doc");

$word->Quit();

$word->Release();
$word = null;
----------------------------

I tried the COM method but got this error:

Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: com in /home/all/www/www/php4/refer/profile1.php

do u have the com file to generate the doc file???

Hey,
Sounds like you don't have COM support. Are you running the source or binary distribution of PHP? WHich version? and on Windows I assume. At this point the error isn't Word related, because PHP can't get past calling the COM function, which doesn't seem to exist.

If you can tell us a bit more about your setup then we can go from there... thanks!
