I have a system where the files the client is going to send me are all in file DOC or DOCX . However, you may want to download this document in TXT format.
Is there any simple way to convert DOC or DOCX to TXT through PHP?
I was able to solve the problem. I did it as follows:
I open the WORD document through class IOFactory of library PHPWord .
$reader = PHPOffice\PhpWord\IOFactory::createReader('Word2007');
$phpword = $reader->load('arquivo.docx');
Save the file as HTML in a temporary file:
$tempfile = tempnam(sys_get_temp_dir());
$phpword->save($tempfile, 'HTML');
I use the class DomDocument to find only the body tag
$dom = new DomDocument('1.0', 'UTF-8');
@$dom->load($tempfile); // Essa arroba é normal ;)
$body = $dom->getElementsByTagName('body')->item(0)->nodeValue;
Next I do schematization to format HTML . I also set it to display correctly in Notepad from Windows , changing "\n" to "\r\n" .
$txt = str_replace("\n", "\r\n", strip_tags($body));
file_put_contents('arquivo.txt', $txt);
