How to Convert HTML to DOCX in PHP
While HTML documents may be ideal for the web, you may want to convert them to the more simple Word document format for other purposes. In this brief tutorial, we are going to demonstrate a way that you can fully transfer the elements of an HTML document to a DOCX file — and before you get worried about how time-consuming the process may be, let me stop you. The following simple API solution can be used in PHP to automatically convert the HTML document to a Word document without any additional coding needed from you.
To begin, we will run this command to install the SDK:
composer require cloudmersive/cloudmersive_document_convert_api_clientNow we are ready to call the conversion function by inputting the HTML document and API key into the below example code:
<?php
require_once(__DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php');// Configure API key authorization: Apikey
$config = Swagger\Client\Configuration::getDefaultConfiguration()->setApiKey('Apikey', 'YOUR_API_KEY');$apiInstance = new Swagger\Client\Api\ConvertWebApi(
new GuzzleHttp\Client(),
$config
);
$input_request = new \Swagger\Client\Model\HtmlToOfficeRequest(); // \Swagger\Client\Model\HtmlToOfficeRequest | HTML input to convert to DOCXtry {
$result = $apiInstance->convertWebHtmlToDocx($input_request);
print_r($result);
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo 'Exception when calling ConvertWebApi->convertWebHtmlToDocx: ', $e->getMessage(), PHP_EOL;
}
?>
And there you have it — your new DOCX file will be ready to go at the end of the process. To retrieve your API key, head over to the Cloudmersive website to register for a free account; this provides 800 calls/month across any of our APIs.
