Make an .rtf-document. You can start by making a template in Wordpad or
Word, save the file as rtf and open it, it's just plaintext. Copy it and
paste it to your php file, then insert required php magic in the rtf (echo
the user input values to right places) and finally make it look like rtf
document with headers.
header('Content-type: application/msword');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="myfile.rtf"');
header('Cache-Control: private');
This is at least how I've managed to do it. The only hard part is the rtf
which has quite messy markup.
