Hi, Where did he say he wanted to use Word to edit PHP files? AFAICT the idea was to automatically upload Word files, presumably to make them available on an Intranet for download etc.
As for uploading a file automatically - PHP isn't going to do it. An app which can map a virtual drive in Windows would probably be the best bet - I think Windows has built in support for mapping WebDAV and FTP servers as shares so this may be a good starting point.
