PHP Html to DOC , XLS and ODF convertor

Question

Hi everybody I'm using CKeditor to edit and generate some reports for my php project. But I need to export the edited texts from CkEditor to Open office and Microsoft word format. So what I need is a class or component which has a function like these :converttoodf($htmlcode) converttodoc($htmlcodes) which return odf and doc format.

However, The doc and Odf file should be without problem , and the pictures and tables should be shown nicely. In addition, No matter if yr solution be commercial, I may buy it cause I really need it urgently

Tnx in advance and hope can get the right answer asap , here

Answer 1

XLS:
http://docraptor.com/ (automatic conversion from HTML)
or
http://phpexcel.codeplex.com/ (manual building of file, just like phpword from another answer)

DOC
You can get away with just saving the HTML with inline css styles applied and saving it as a .doc. Not sure about how to display images there though.

ODT

Answer 2

You might want to take a look at phpword... i know it supports html documents but im not sure if you can jsut load some source and save it out - you may have to build the document programatically.

Answer 3

If you need ODT anyway, then I'd recommend using OpenOffice via commandline. There is http://www.artofsolving.com/opensource/pyodconverter which can convert between pretty much all Office formats.

HTML import shouldn't be a problem. Don't be foiled by the PDF example. Input and output formats can vary. http://www.oooninja.com/2008/02/batch-command-line-file-conversion-with.html
