I have an existing word document in my computer and like to edit this file from my website (using PHP). I was able to find PHPWORD
but this deals with new documents only. I don't want to code PHP
for the whole document, instead wish to use it for the stuff that varies.
Does anybody know any way out?

PHPWord also features a Reader which can be used to edit existing documents.
@nssmart,
Yes,mark a section on your word document with a variable such as {value1}
and then, if you have PHPWORD downloaded, you can replace that section using code
$PHPWord = new PHPWord();
$document = $PHPWord->loadTemplate(Doc location);
$document->setValue('value1', 'Description');
This can be used to fill data in tables also.
