PHPWord is a pure PHP library for reading and writing word processing documents in formats such as DOCX, ODT, RTF, DOC, HTML, and PDF. It lets PHP scripts dynamically create documents with sections, styles, tables, images, charts, headers/footers, and template-based generation.

Use cases

• generate docx invoices from php
• create word documents programmatically
• read and parse docx files in php
• fill word document templates with data
• convert documents to pdf or html from php
• generate odt reports with tables and images

When to choose

• you need to create or modify Word/OpenDocument documents from PHP without external tools
• you want template-based document generation with images, tables, and charts
• you need a pure PHP solution with no native dependencies

When to avoid

• you need full-fidelity conversion between complex office formats
• you work outside PHP
• you need to render PDFs with precise layout control rather than basic PDF output
