Topic: Unable to convert doc to html, docx to html works

Posted by razasayed · 18-10-2018 - 15:10

Hello,

Im using the corporate premium version of phpdocx v8.2 which has the conversion capabilities. Im able to convert a docx file to html . However converting doc to html is not working. My code to convert docx to html is like whats given in the sample at https://www.phpdocx.com/documentation/introduction/word-to-html-PHP .

$transformHTMLPlugin = new TransformDocAdvHTMLDefaultPlugin();
$transform = new TransformDocAdvHTML('document.docx');
$html = $transform->transform($transformHTMLPlugin);

If i pass a doc file to TransformDocAdvHTML for example "$transform = new TransformDocAdvHTML('test.doc')", then calling '$transform->transform($transformHTMLPlugin)' gives the following error:

"Exception with message 'Error while trying to open the (base) template as a zip file'"

Can existing doc files be converted to html using phpdocx ?. If yes,i would appreciate some example code to do that.

Thank You

Hello,

The TransformDocAdvHTML class allows to transform DOCX to HTML using PHP native classes, as you can read on https://www.phpdocx.com/documentation/introduction/word-to-html-PHP. If you need to transform DOC to HTML, fist you need to transform DOC to DOCX using the conversion plugin (https://www.phpdocx.com/documentation/conversion-plugin).

Regards.

I did the following to convert a doc to docx first

$docx = new CreateDocx();

$docx->transformDocument('test.doc', 'test.docx')

I get the error "PHP Error: Class 'Phpdocx/Logger/Exception not found..."

Hello,

We recommend you to read the documentation available on https://www.phpdocx.com/documentation/conversion-plugin to understand how to install and use the conversion plugin available in Advacend and Premium licenses. On these documentation pages you can also find the steps to debug and test the conversion plugin.
