Text extraction from docx, doc, excel, ppt, pdf, etc formats - El Forum - 05-09-2012

Dear all,
is there any library that supports text extraction from docx,doc, excel, pdf, etc formats like Apache POI does on Java?
Or should I port Apache POI classes to Codeigniter code?
best regards,
ethereal1m

There's a docx library for zend framework, which you can use in CI.

it's not codeigniter itself, PHP can't read extensions such as .docx by default, you're always going to need some third party library or something.
