What are some alternatives to converting an HTML form saved in a MySQL database into a Word document using PHP?

One alternative to converting an HTML form saved in a MySQL database into a Word document using PHP is to generate a PDF file instead. This can be achieved using libraries like TCPDF or FPDF in PHP. PDF files are widely supported and can be easily created from HTML content.

// Example code using TCPDF to generate a PDF from HTML content
require_once('tcpdf/tcpdf.php');

// Create new PDF document
$pdf = new TCPDF();

// Set document information
$pdf->SetCreator(PDF_CREATOR);
$pdf->SetAuthor('Author');
$pdf->SetTitle('Title');
$pdf->SetSubject('Subject');
$pdf->SetKeywords('Keywords');

// Add a page
$pdf->AddPage();

// Set HTML content
$html = '<h1>Hello, World!</h1>';
$pdf->writeHTML($html, true, false, true, false, '');

// Output PDF
$pdf->Output('example.pdf', 'D');
