PhpWord is a library written in pure PHP and providing a set of classes that allow you to write to and read from different document file formats, like Word (.docx), WordPad (.rtf), Libre/OpenOffice Writer (.odt).

No Windows operating system is needed for usage because the resulting DOCX, ODT, or RTF files can be opened by all major word processing softwares.

PhpWord is an open source project licensed under LGPL. PhpWord is unit tested to make sure that the released versions are stable.
