PHP :: Convert Word To HTML

Convert MS Word / Rtf / ... To Plain Text
i'm looking for standalone libraries that convert documents to plain text so i can let people edit the text in a textarea after uploading. One thing to notice is that i can not use COM because i can't configure the webserver.

Does anyone has interesting classes that are able to do this. I found a PHP class for ms word documents at http://obninsk.name/obninsk_doc/ but that doesn't work at all for my word documents.

Convert .php Into .html
I have a pre-made php class that converts html into pdf documents. It can also convert php pages into pdf but it converts it before the php page executes. So in the resulting pdf you get all the php code. I was wondering is there a way i can let the php page execute and then let the pdf class convert it?

I know it will be hard to say that without looking at the php class. I was thinking would there be a way to execute the the php page, and have it made into an html page? So this way i can run the php class on the html page.

Removing Word HTML From A File

Character Conversion From MS Word To HTML
Here's a brief description of the problem. My organization has a
client who cuts and pastes information from Microsoft Word documents
into web-based forms, whose contents is then displayed on a website. I
wish to convert the special characters, such as ellipses and trademark
symbols (and whatever else Word might throw at us) into a proper HTML
entity (™) or character reference (®) if the entity does
not exist.

let me share a brief overview of my
previous attempts at a solution so neither of us wastes his time.
Right now, I'm using a combination of the character map returned by
get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES) and some kludgy code which
manually maps the Unicode value of an MS Word special character to its
HTML equivalent. For example,

$replace_array[chr(226).chr(128).chr(152)] = "‘" ;

I'd like to be able to do the above operation automatically / across
the board for wacky Word characters. I suspect I may need to use the
mbstring functions.

Function To Convert HTML
I wrote this little function so that when I use eval() on HTML with PHP in it (eg: <?php print $name; ?>) it will convert the code into pure PHP so eval() works.

There are a couple of things to note:You CANNOT use the ' character in the PHP code (eg: $val['value']) as it will cause errors - use $val["value"] instead. Using a RegExp will probably fix this but I'm not yet that advanced . You can use ' in HTML code or in print(), echo() in your PHP code.It only works for <?php ?> tags. <? ?> will cause errors.

Convert Html Table To Csv
i need to write a script to automatically convert some statistical data from an html table to csv there are two problems that i'm having, depending on the user or the options selected, some rows won't be shown, and some will so in the code, there are a heap of if statements to hide/show columns which makes it especially hard when we need to add new columns for the html view, something else i need to look into i guess.

i thought the easiest way, might be to use file_get_contents() to grab all the html code cos it's all laid out nicely already but then i thought about the colspans which would affect the comma seperatedness of the header columns (if you get that) does anyone know of a good, effective, scalable solution to this problem? Code:

Convert Text From Database For HTML
I'm pulling text from a database (MySQL) and I'm using the nl2br () function to convert the line breaks

DESCRIPTION="<?php echo nl2br($row_rsttheJobResults['description']); ?>"

This creates the following example

"A new line will be created soon < 'br' >
and here it is."

However the website that receives this cannot accept the characters < and >
So I want to convert this " " into this ""

Could anybody help me add to the nl2br () function to convert the tags?

* the spaces between the < and br are there because they won't show in the message otherwise

Convert Special HTML Characters On Include
All I need to do is include the file "menu.html" (the actual menu contents, exported from MS Word - a requirement) in the dailymenu.php template. However, the menu.html file has all sorts of special characters - due to the fact that french, spanish, and itialian food names contain special characters:

example: í, è, ó, â, é, ñ, etc. etc.

so when I do a simple:

<?php include("includes/menu.html"); ?>

in the dailymenu.php file, the output is crapped up by the special characters not being converted.

Any way you know to include the menu.html file in dailymenu.php template and fix the special characters all at once?

How To Fix PHP/HTML Webpages That Display Word Resumes With Funky Characters
I have a textarea where people can cut & paste their resume.
Unfortunately they often cut & paste their Word resume into the
textarea, funky characters and all.

This causes the display to be mangled from the HTML end when people
view pages with these resumes stored as a MySQL text field entry.

How do I fix this, also, how do I fix the displays of those already
entered this way?

Php & Ms Word
I want to display a .doc file to an html page, using PHP. The doc file is located in a MySQL db. It will be used for displaying some announcements through the main web page.

COM And Ms Word
I've read "PHP and COM" by Harish Kamath and I've got a problem just at the beginning.
I'm not able to create an instance of the Word application:

"$word = new COM("word.application") or die("Unable to instantiate application object")".
It doesn't print the die message, it is simply always "sending request to 127.0.0.1 ..."
Is it a problem of "php.ini" settings? I'm using PHP4.0.6 on Windows2000 (Office2000).

COM & Word
I am trying to print a document after merging some data into it using PHP
COM and it seems to be very tempremental and doesn't work at all over
network printers. When I say tempremental, if it works on a machine it
works, no question, but if it doesn't it just goes nowhere and doesn't say
anything at all.

Defintely works on Windows XP Pro, but again tempremental, once it wasn't
working and I did everything possible, all office updates etc. but gave up
and just re-installed windows and it worked fine.

Windows 2000, i think i've had it working

Windows 2000 Server, not working.

All using Office 2000, but even tried the Office 2003 on Windows 2000 Server
and nothing at all.. :( It seems very badly documented.

The code I use to print: (a simplified just to do the task)

<?

$empty = new VARIANT();
com_load_typelib('Word.Application');
$word = new COM('word.application') or die('Unable to load Word');
print "Loaded Word, version {$word->Version}
 ";

$word->Documents->Open("c:/templates/Options.doc");

$output="";
$word->ActiveDocument->PrintOut(0,0,0,$output);

?>

Is there any known good resources for doing this? Can anyone shed any light
on this?!

PHP, COM And WORD
I'm having some difficulties with PHP and COM (don't worry I can connect to MS WORD and do stuff). Having desperately Google'd it for 6 hours, here is my lays my last hope.There are two things (Actually three) :

1) a) I want to be able to use styles in WORD to format my created word document. I looked at the list but I just can't seem to find the right command.

b) If there is no such use, I want to learn how to create my own styles (the company I'm developing the project has customized heading and subheading styles). So I can mimic Word's settings.

2)I'm having encoding problems. My mysql dbase and browser are working on UTF8. The problem is when I create a word document and dump data on it, the special characters just go crazy. I tried $word->Documents[1]->TextEncoding=20905; but it doesn't seem to work. Maybe I messed with the syntax but code generates no errors. Just crap letters on special characters.

PHP And Word COM
I've just starting to use the COM library with Word 97 and I can create new documents based on the example given in the php manual. I'm running PHP 4.0.4 using OmniHTTPd on a Windows 98 machine - the final version will run from a NT 4.0 server.

My problem - I want to do a search an replace to tailor a Word template. The code I have been trying at the foot of this message - basically, all I am doing is converting working VBA into PHP syntax. But PHP crashes as soon as it hits find->execute(). Code:

MS Word To .gif
I need to create preview-images from MS Word documents using PHP. Any Idea
how I could accomplish this?

,php To .htm To Ms Word
I've written a (single-page) script that works like this;

If no values are posted to it, the script creates a form page for a
user to fill in and 'submit'.

If values are posted to it (i.e. the user filled in the form), the
script renders a page of html with the user-supplied values.

Straightforward stuff, however, if values are posted I'd like the
rendered page to open in MS word for further editing, instead of the
users default browser.

What steps can I take to acheve this?

PHP/XML To Word
We use an intranet for the generation of quotes for customers. Once a salesman has selected the quote they can then open it as a word document to edit the details. The word document comes with a customized header for each geographical region.

Recently one of the offices moved so we went to the webserver and updated all of the gif's with the new address which will appear before the page is converted to word. Once its converted to word however, the old address appears. I'm at a loss.

Sorting By Word?
Okay, I am making a member database, and when I print it out I want it to display the list by rank. Unfortantly, I stored Rank as a word. I could make a sort function that would be quite extensive and probably take a long time to execute every time...

..Or, is there anyway I can specify in SQL: Put this on the top of the list if "rank='General'" and then next if "rank='Captain'", and so on? I think if this was possible it would take a lot less time to execute...

Or else I will probably have to redesign much of the site with numerical ranks instead. Thanks for any answers/advice.

Word & Excel To PDF

I am expecting suggestions and help from expert friends who can help me out

Open Word From PHP
I am trying to open up word documents, in word, from php. The documents are stored on a web server and access by web dav. when I try opening from php the word documents open in a web browser. If I open word then paste the url in it will open the document in word.

Does anyone know of a way of sending a file and getting it to open in word rather than a browser from php.

Faxing Via Word Using COM
I am trying to write a script that faxes a message via MS Word. Does anyone know how to :

1. tell the script to select fax as printer
2. insert recipient's name
3. insert recipient's fax number.

The names + numbers are fed from a database

The following code actually works but obviously it
sends the message to the printer :
...

$word = new COM("word.application") or die("Unable to
instanciate Word");

$word->visible = true;

// open an empty doc
$word->Documents->Add();

// type the message
$word->Selection->TypeText(' This is a test');
$word->Documents[1]->PrintOut();

//closing word
$word->Quit();

//free the object
$word->Release();
$word = null;
....

MS Word Documents
I've been asked to write a script to upload Microsoft Word documents and then convert them into 'printer friendly' pages. The uploading part I've got no problem with, but I can't find anything about reading MS word docs into PHP. Does anyone know anything about this?

I hope it's not as difficult as excel documents - which I'm still trying to get working on and off without any real success.
