You could write a small perl script to generate your RTF -
there are numerous RTF encoding/decoding modules in the CPAN library,
then shell out to it from your PHP script.

Alternatively, www.wvware.com might have a utility that you can call
from your php script - they make libraries that let you deal with
Word documents directly.
