Easiest way to extract images from a MS Word Document using PHP?

Question

Is this possible to extract images from MS Word Documents using PHP? And if so, how?

Requirement: Definitely old-shool doc support, but preferably both old and new.<

Answer 1

If you are extracting images from older files you have a couple of options.

Run a converter to update all files to DocX then use IntermediateHacker's code.

Find the VBA code necessary to extract the images, and then either create a macro and call this code via PHP's COM interface functions or call the code yourself via these functions.

The first thing to do though is find how to do it in VBA, that will make it much easier to do it in PHP.

Answer 2

Create a new PHP file and name it as extract.php and add the following code in it.

<?php

/*Name of the document file*/
$document = 'attractive_prices.docx';

/*Function to extract images*/ 
function readZippedImages($filename) {


/*Create a new ZIP archive object*/
    $zip = new ZipArchive;

    /*Open the received archive file*/
    if (true === $zip->open($filename)) {
        for ($i=0; $i<$zip->numFiles;$i++) {


/*Loop via all the files to check for image files*/
            $zip_element = $zip->statIndex($i);


/*Check for images*/
            if(preg_match("([^\s]+(\.(?i)(jpg|jpeg|png|gif|bmp))$)",$zip_element['name'])) {


/*Display images if present by using display.php*/
                echo "<image src='display.php?filename=".$filename."&index=".$i."' /><hr />";
            }
        }
    }
}
readZippedImages($document);
?>

Now create another PHP file and name it as display.php and add the following code to it.

<?php


/*Tell the browser that we want to display an image*/
    header('Content-Type: image/jpeg');


/*Create a new ZIP archive object*/
    $zip = new ZipArchive;

    /*Open the received archive file*/
    if (true === $zip->open($_GET['filename'])) {


/*Get the content of the specified index of ZIP archive*/
        echo $zip->getFromIndex($_GET['index']);
    }

    $zip->close();
?>
