Please follow these Simple & Quick Steps to Export your HTML Content to Doc in CakePHP:-
Step#1: Build the <HTML> content dynamically according to the requirement.
Step#2: Store the <HTML>content in a variable (Example: $ExportContent)
$ExportContent = '<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
</head>
<body>
<h2>Mark sheet Table</h2>
<table style="width:100%" border="1" cellspacing="0">
<tbody><tr>
<th>Number</th>
<th>First Name</th>
<th>Last Name</th>
<th>Points</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center">1</td>
<td>Eve</td>
<td>Jackson</td>
<td align="right">94</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center">2</td>
<td>John</td>
<td>Doe</td>
<td align="right">80</td>
</tr>
</tbody></table>
</body>
</html>
';
Step#3: After building the content pass appropriate headers to convert this <HTML>content to Doc
header("Content-type: application/vnd.ms-word");
header("Expires: 0");
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
Step#4: Provide file name to “Content-Disposition” header that we want to give the doc file name
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; Filename=myfile.doc");
echo $ExportContent;
