    Hi



    I'm new to this forum and I'm just trying to establish whether PHPDocX will suit my requirements. So, here we go...



    I need to be able to create Word documents from pieces of text (eg a paragraph) and images. We haven't decided yet whether these individual elements will be held in a database eg a MySQL db, or whether they will be stored as individual Word documents (containing, for example, one paragraph per document).



    What we then need to do is to be able to search through these elements and to select some of them that will then be assembled into a Word document. So, let's say I have 200 text elements in my db and I search through them, which then gives me a list of 20 elements, some of which I will want to include in a report. I then want to be able to select some of the 20 elements, perhaps by clicking on a check box, and then to merge them together to form a single Word document.



    How much of the above scenario can PhpDocX help me with?



    Thanks, John
