php - Preview Uploaded Files -


i’m working on website enable users upload types of files. upon file(s) being uploaded, need generate preview of file(s) content, in image format.

for example, if upload .doc file containing letter of sort (e.g. absence letter), preview image of letter needs generated.

some of files need upload , generate preview of include, not limited to: .doc(x), .jpg, .ppt(x), .xls(x), .html, .psd.

can done php?

if not, best place start in order develop functionality extension php?, , languages done in?

just 2 cents here. no programming language can inherently. languages designed special , well. there might extensions or additional libraries "common" problems, pear. because dealing here proprietary document types (.doc,.ppt,.xls,.psd). first need application able interpret source document , mean application needs api. microsoft has vba this. second, api or application (it requires api) must able generate image of document, not screen shot pdf print out. there big question if or how apis accessible php.

so, not saying cannot done there no do-it-all language. have , use multiple languages result. php think still solution tie together, though.
