Well, will wonders never cease...It looks like PHPBuilder.com, though not the resource it once was, is still hanging on to something. They have a new article posted this morning about using PHP to create RTF documents (Rich Text Format). It's not as compliated as something like making a Word document, but it's pretty close.

Anyway, Builder.com has a new article about this very topic, and how to keep it from happening. They give a few key tips on how to keep it under control (a certain amount of improvement is possible to an initial design), and how to keep this mindset all the way through the project.
