How can I convert a docx document to html using php?

Question

I want to be able to upload an MS word document and export it a page in my site.

Is there any way to accomplish this?

Answer 1

One may use PHPDocX.

It has support for practically all HTML CSS styles. Moreover you may use templates to add extra formatting to your HTML via the replaceTemplateVariableByHTML.

The HTML methods of PHPDocX also allow for the direct use of Word styles. You may use something like this:

$docx->embedHTML($myHTML, array('tableStyle' => 'MediumGrid3-accent5PHPDOCX'));

If you want that all your tables use the MediumGrid3-accent5 Word style. The embedHTML method as well as its version for templates (replaceTemplateVariableByHTML) preserve inheritance, meaning by that that you may use a predefined Word style and override with CSS any of its properties.

You may also extract selected parts of your HTML using 'JQuery type' selectors.
