Is there a way to create .doc files in PHP like one would use TCPDF to create pdf?

I've already got the functionality to print pdf reports and bills in my application, but now I need to also be able to export in .doc format. I'm using TCPDF's writeHTML function to write and format the pdf files, and I was wondering if there's a way to do the same for .doc files.

This is pretty straight forward. A .doc file can just contain HTML. If you pass along the Word header, you can just start printing HTML. So, for example:

<?php
header("Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-word");
print "<table border=\"1\"><tr><td><b>field1</b></td><td><b>field2</b></td></tr>";
print "<tr><td>value1 </td><td bgcolor=\"#137799\">value2 in blue cell bakground</td></tr></table>";
?>
