I would see if an existing resume parser has an API you can use or a custom hook you can add to your framework. Check out Sovren or TextKernel
According to Sovren's website, they quote:
Once your instance of the SovrenConvertAndParse Web Service is
running, you will access it via SOAP. Almost all programming
environments have the ability to auto-create a web service client or
web service proxy automatically from the web service’s WSDL. We also
have sample clients for some environments such as PHP. In any case,
creating the web service client should be a very quick task: usually a
few minutes, maybe a few hours.
Once you have created your web service client, you can call a single
method on the web service to convert and parse a resume in one
operation, receiving HR-XML output in return.

TextKernel quotes:
Document processing for all types of documents (DOC, DOCX, PDF, RTF,
HTML, TIFF, TXT, XML, MSG, and EML type documents). Textkernel offers the following 11 languages out of the box: English, German, French, Dutch, Spanish, Swedish, Danish, Polish, Romanian, Italian, Slovak.
It seems their web interface is called Sourcebox:
Sourcebox is fully configurable with Extract!, Textkernel's CV
Parsing software.
Sourcebox has a multilingual web interface for staff to manage the
CV queue and manually check and correct exceptions.
Sourcebox can be used as an interface to many leading CRM, ATS,
Matching engines, HRMS systems and your own website or recruitment
portal.

They both seem promising enough to utilize and not have to reinvent the wheel here, especially with PHP.
