Answer 1

In theory, a docx format document is already an xml document, only compressed by the zip algorithm. All you need is:

$zip = new ZipArchive;
$doc_file = './publisher.docx';
$zip->open($doc_file);
$zip->extractTo('./tmp');

Then look at the content and use the simplexml_load_file function :

$xml = simplexml_load_file("./tmp/path_to.xml");
$xml->registerXPathNamespace('w',"http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/wordprocessingml/2006/main");
$text = $xml->xpath('//w:t');
echo '<pre>'; print_r($text); echo '</pre>';
