Hi, In This tutorial you will learn about "How to read the .docx files in PHP". Generally .docx files will be opened in the MS-OFFICE, But we are able to open the .docx file in PHP we have to convert the .docx file into text then we can easily display the content in the web browser.
<?php
function read_file_docx($filename){
$striped_content = '';
$content = '';
if(!$filename || !file_exists($filename)) return false;
$zip = zip_open($filename);
if (!$zip || is_numeric($zip)) return false;
while ($zip_entry = zip_read($zip)) {
if (zip_entry_open($zip, $zip_entry) == FALSE) continue;
if (zip_entry_name($zip_entry) != "word/document.xml") continue;
$content .= zip_entry_read($zip_entry, zip_entry_filesize($zip_entry));
zip_entry_close($zip_entry);
}// end while
zip_close($zip);
$content = str_replace('</w:r></w:p></w:tc><w:tc>', " ", $content);
$content = str_replace('</w:r></w:p>', "\r\n", $content);
$striped_content = strip_tags($content);
return $striped_content;
}
$filename = "sample.docx";// or /var/www/html/file.docx
$content = read_file_docx($filename);
if($content !== false) {
echo nl2br($content);
}
else {
echo 'Couldn\'t the file. Please check that file.';
}
?>
