Is there any other free alternatives to PHPliveDocx? I would like to create a Word document based on templates and user inputted data.

The template will resides on the server and the client(online or c# windows application) will be used to collect user input. Once data has been collected, server-side script(PHP) will be used to generate a Word document. So far I have only found phplivedocx. However I'm not very comfortable at consuming web services from a server that I have no control over with (am I worrying too much?).

I have also thought about using client to do the work (c# windows application, Open Office XML). But I'm not sure that's the right way of doing things.

  • For those reading and still looking, also looks https://github.com/djpate/docxgen might be an option, though didn't look too thoroughly. – JeopardyTempest Jul 21 '18 at 16:53

OpenTBS is able to merge DOCX template in PHP the way you're describing.

It does Docx, Xlsx, Pptx, Odt, Ods, Odf, ... any OpenDocument and OpenXML documents.
