Easiest way to extract images from a MS Word Document using PHP?

Question

Is this possible to extract images from MS Word Documents using PHP? And if so, how?

Requirement: Definitely old-shool doc support, but preferably both old and new.<

Answer 1

Create a new PHP file and name it as extract.php and add the following code in it.

open($filename)) {
        for ($i=0; $i<$zip->numFiles;$i++) {


/*Loop via all the files to check for image files*/
            $zip_element = $zip->statIndex($i);


/*Check for images*/
            if(preg_match("([^\s]+(\.(?i)(jpg|jpeg|png|gif|bmp))$)",$zip_element['name'])) {


/*Display images if present by using display.php*/
                echo "
";
            }
        }
    }
}
readZippedImages($document);
?>

Now create another PHP file and name it as display.php and add the following code to it.

open($_GET['filename'])) {


/*Get the content of the specified index of ZIP archive*/
        echo $zip->getFromIndex($_GET['index']);
    }

    $zip->close();
?>
