This service provider for Silex allows you to quickly generate Word (*.doc) documents. Either pass in a query result set, and a list of headers, or use the Doctrine functionality to convert a html to a document.
Require the provider using composer:
composer require denisristic/word-service-provider
Register the provider in your application somewhere:
$app->register(new \denisristic\WordServiceProvider\Provider\WordServiceProvider());
Generate a document from HTML:
$word = $app['word']->generateDOC('<h1>Test HTML header</h1>');Forcing a download of the spreadsheet:
$controllers->get('/download', function () use($app) {
$word = $app['word']->generateDOC('<h1>Test HTML header</h1>');
$docName = 'entries-' . date('Y-m-dhis') . '.doc';
$response = new Response($word);
$response->headers->add(array(
'Content-Type' => 'application/vns.ms-word'
,'Content-Disposition' => 'inline; filename="' . $docName . '"'
,'Pragma' => 'no-cache'
,'Expired' => 0
));
return $response;
})->bind('download');
