Using Nusoap, I’ve put together a simple example of how to convert a word docx to txt in codeigniter php. I’ve left error checking out etc just to keep it simple. Its once again one of those “You build on it for you own usage” snippets.
This function converts to txt then just adds a simple <p> wrapper around paragraphs. I put this into a custom file manager for TinyMCE, and it allows clean embedding of a word document to the editor.
And you can grab the Codeigniter Nusoap library from here: nusoap-codeigniter
And a zipped clean version of the PHP snippet above from here: mswordfunction
Hopefully this helps people.
