You would need to use Libraries like PHPWORD.It provides a set of classes to write to and read from different document file formats. You can also use phpLiveDocx which is a Zend Framework component and can read and write DOC and DOCX files in PHP on Linux, Windows and Mac. A sample code to do this with PHP COM

<?php 
// Create COM instance to word 

       function clsMSWord($Visible = false) 
   { 
       $this->handle = new COM("word.application") or die("Unable to instanciate Word"); 
       $this->handle->Visible = $Visible; 
   } 

function WriteHyperlink($Bookmark,$Path,$Text) 
   { 
           $objBookmark = $this->handle->ActiveDocument->Bookmarks($Bookmark); 
           $range = $objBookmark->Range; 
           $objHyperlink = $this->handle->ActiveDocument->Hyperlinks; 
           $objHyperlink->add($range,$Path,"","",$Text); 

   }
