Convert .doc to html in php

Question

Has anyone found a good class, or other file that will convert a .doc file into html or something that I can read and turn into html?

I have been looking around for a couple hours now and have only found ones that require msword on the server in order to convert the file. I am pretty sure that is not an option but I have not actually talked to my hosting provider about it.

The goal is for a user to be able to upload the file to my server and the server handle the conversion and then display it as html, much like googles view as html feature.

@Papa_Jay yes, you can (I used it several years ago in a joomla plugin...) – CronosNull Jan 24 '14 at 19:45
It is having issues with some of doc files. Not a 100% proof solution. – Rashmi Jain Sep 14 '17 at 06:33

A project called phpLiveDocx does what you want. It is a SOAP based service, but can be used free of charge. For a basic introduction, please see: http://www.phplivedocx.org/articles/brief-introduction-to-phplivedocx/

This PHP uploads your *.DOC file to a upload folder and opens it up in HTML.

<?php
function content($file){
$data_array = explode(chr(0x0D),fread(fopen($file, "r"), filesize($file)));
$data_text = "";
foreach($data_array as $data_line){
if (strpos($data_line, chr(0x00) !== false)||(strlen($data_line)==0))
{} else {if(chr(0)) {$data_text .= "<br>";
                      $data_text .= preg_replace("/[^a-zA-Z0-9\s\,\.\-\n\r\t@\/\_\(\)]/","",$data_line); 
       } 
   }        
}
return $data_text;}
$destination = str_replace('index.php', '', $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']);
$destination.= "upload/";
$maxsize = 5120000;
if (isset($_GET['upload'])) {
      if($_FILES['userfile']['name'] && $_FILES['userfile']['size'] < $maxsize) {
      if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], "$destination/".$_FILES['userfile']['name'])){
      $file = $destination."/".$_FILES['userfile']['name'];
      $data = content($file);
      echo $data;
        }   
         }
}else{
      echo "<form  enctype='multipart/form-data' method='post' action='index.php?upload'>
            <input name='userfile' type='file'>
            <input value='Upload' name='submit' type='submit'>
            </form>";
      }
?>

sorry but your function produces something not readable: "

Install open office on your system and run this on the command line:

/usr/bin/soffice -headless "macro:///Standard.Convert.SaveAsHtml(test.doc)"
