Good morning.
I have a test.html file. I would like to convert into test.xlsx using php.
Now, I could create test.xls file using php, whereas it is having only html tags due to that this file could not open directly in excel and it shows extension error. so if the file is having test.xlsx format gets opened smoothly.
I did not know that how to proceed further to get an expected results.
Please help if possible.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Balraj

Not working for me.
I had a similar problem and i found a github that i used with word docs. It worked fairly good then but i havent tested it of late. try it.

I think that this post could help you in a first time. With this one, you'll be able to convert any pdf into HTML code using PHP.
After this, you can use the help provided by this post to convert .doc and .docx to PDF using PHP.
I think that you can now built a function for each document extension that you want to convert into HTML.
Good luck.
I've come across a web service which presents an API for converting documents. I haven't tested it very thoroughly but it does seem to produce decent results at converting Word to HTML:

I am using PHPRtfLite library (http://sigma-scripts.de/phprtflite/docs/index.html) to produce an RTF file using PHP and Yii.
So far, I've made a simple "Hello world" function.
Yii::import('ext.phprtf.PHPRtfLite');
Yii::registerAutoloader(array('PHPRtfLite','registerAutoloader'), true);
$rtf = new PHPRtfLite();
$sect = $rtf->addSection();
$sect->writeText('Hello world!', new PHPRtfLite_Font(), new PHPRtfLite_ParFormat());
//save rtf document
$rtf->sendRtf('takis.rtf');
File is created successfully, but when I open it (either wordpad or ms word) I do not see the actual content of the file but the raw code of the RTF:
{\rtf\ansi\deff0\fs20
{\fonttbl{\f0 Times New Roman;}}
{\colortbl;\red0\green0\blue0;}
{\info
}
\paperw11907 \paperh16840 \deftab1298 \margl1701 \margr1701 \margt567 \margb1134 \pgnstart1\ftnnar \aftnnrlc \ftnstart1 \aftnstart1
\pard \ql {\fs20 Hello world!}
}
Do you have any idea on how to solve this?
Thank you very much in advance.
To answer my own question, in case someone is having the same issue in the coming future...
It seems to be a problem of the sendRTF function. Now, I save the created file locally:
$rtf->save('takis.rtf');
and then generate a link for the user to download the file. This works pretty good.
I have experienced same thing myself. I'm not sure, if you had same reasons, but in my case, there was extra newline in the beginning of PHP file, before <?php tag. When I used sendRtf to download file from browser, that newline ended up also in RTF file, making it invalid and as result, raw rtf code was displayed. When using save, such extra characters won't reach to file.
So one thing to check in similar situations - open Rtf file in Notepad and examine beginning of file.
I can convert html page to pdf and send it via email with out any problem, but I am facing trouble with converting php file to pdf.
is it possible to convert php file to pdf using mpdf or do I need to use some other php class for this?
Thanks!
The option seems to be like, first convert the output of the php file to html file, save it and pass that file to mpdf.
Thought my solution may seem other way round but it worked well for me.
Or otherwise this Link
<?php
$file = '/home/user/Desktop/myfile.html';
$result = file_get_contents("url/of/ur/page");
echo $result; //view source now
file_put_contents($file, $result);
?>
now u can pass this file to mpdf. Realie sorie bt i havnt used mpdf till date. May be this solution works for you.
Also, other option is curl.
Greetings !!
I have to insert a logo(image) on the row[0],column[0].I am using "Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer" for that.i tried its insertBitmap() methode ,program working fine but it doesn't show the bitmap image on xls sheet,instead blank row. what could be reason ? can you please let me know the exact string format for the argument. Is there any other way to insert image on xls sheet using PHP5.i am very new to php ,it will be a great help .
Have a nice time ahead !!
[edit]
Here is the code, as per Aman's comment below:
$sew =& new Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer ();
$worksheet =& $sew->addWorksheet (substr (strval ($name).strval ($sht), 0, 31));
$worksheet->insertBitmap ($row,$col,$image,$x,$y,$scale_x,$scale_y);
I never could get Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer to work properly with image insertions. Not sure if it's a bug in the library or what. But in any case, S_E_W is hideously outdated, you should switch to PHPExcel instead, which supports recent Excel formats (including .xlsx) for reading AND writing, whereas S_E_W is limited to BIFF 5.0, which is Excel '95 (or thereabouts) and only supports writing.
I've just ran a test using Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer. SEW saves the excel file using BIFF5 format. Open Office Calc will read images from BIFF8, but not from BIFF5 files.
EDIT
Further testing:
Setting SEW to write BIFF8 by using $workbook->setVersion(8); still doesn't write the bitmap image correctly as a BIFF8 file. It would seem that unless you want to rewrite SEW to store images correctly for BIFF8, then you won't see them when opening the file in OOCalc... without reading through the OOCalc or SEW code, I couldn't say what the problem is. Nor does Gnumeric read the image when the file is saved as BIFF5, but it will display the image correctly when the file is saved as BIFF8.
I've gotten this to work. The thing is, this writer is EXTREMELY sensitive to cell overwriting.
Your syntax is correct.
Things to look out for:
Make sure the file is 24 bit BMP. That's the only thing this writer supports.
Make sure nothing overwrites the cell where you place the image.
Make sure that the image path is correct.
And make sure the scale is set. If it's not set, it goes to 0 which doesn't display the image. The default is noted as 1, but it's not.
I need to find a certain key in a pdf file. As far as I know the only way to do that is to interpret a pdf as txt file. I want to do this in PHP without installing a addon/framework/etc.
Thanks
You can certainly open a PDF file as text. PDF file format is actually a collection of objects. There is a header in the first line that tells you the version. You would then go to the bottom to find the offset to the start of the xref table that tells where all the objects are located. The contents of individual objects in the file, like graphics, are often binary and compressed. The 1.7 specification can be found here.
I found this function, hope it helps.

You can't just open the file as it is a binary dump of objects used to create the PDF display, including encoding, fonts, text, images. I wrote an blog post explaining how text is stored at http://pdf.jpedal.org/java-pdf-blog/bid/27187/Understanding-the-PDF-file-format-text-streams
Thank you all for your help. I owe you this piece of code:
// Proceed if file exists
if(file_exists($sourcePath)){
$pdfFile = fopen($sourcePath,"rb");
$data = fread($pdfFile, filesize($sourcePath));
fclose($pdfFile);
// Check if file is encrypted or not
if(stripos($data,$searchFor)){ // $searchFor = "/Encrypt"
$counterEncrypted++;
}else{
$counterNotEncrpyted++;
}
}else{
$counterNotExisting++;
}
