I'm working on a server that is using PHP 4.4.9(doesn't use PHP 5 and I can't upgrade) I need to write a action that will take an existing PHP page and convert it to a similar looking word document.

How can I do such a thing?

    Not easily, and definitely not easily in PHP4. – ceejayoz Oct 19 '11 at 14:38

Update

Apparently the only surefire way to convert HTML to DOC under PHP4 would be to use an external tool and call it through exec:

One option would be to grab HTML output and feed it to a PDF converter. It isn't exactly a Word document but just might do the trick.

For PHP4:

    You really should switch to a host that has PHP5. PHP4 hasn't been supported for three years now - no security fixes. – ceejayoz Oct 19 '11 at 14:46
