I have a system where the files the client will send me are all on file DOC or DOCX. But the same wants to be possible to download this document in format TXT.

Is there any simple way to convert DOC or DOCX stop TXT through PHP?

  • Thank you guys. I’m starting to get it. A file DOCX is a masked zipped file. If you change the extension of the same to ZIP, you will see that it has several files XML for formatting.

I managed to solve the problem. I did it this way:

I open the WORD Document through the class IOFactory library PHPWord.

 $reader = PHPOffice\PhpWord\IOFactory::createReader('Word2007');

 $phpword = $reader->load('arquivo.docx');

Save the file as HTML in a temporary archive:

$tempfile = tempnam(sys_get_temp_dir());

$phpword->save($tempfile, 'HTML');

I use the class DomDocument to find only the tag body

$dom = new DomDocument('1.0', 'UTF-8');

@$dom->load($tempfile); // Essa arroba é normal ;)

$body = $dom->getElementsByTagName('body')->item(0)->nodeValue;

Then I do the schematic to format the HTML. I also configure it to display correctly in the notepad of Windows, exchanging "\n" for "\r\n".

 $txt = str_replace("\n", "\r\n", strip_tags($body));

 file_put_contents('arquivo.txt', $txt);
