How to extract text from docx file?

Can anybody help me to extract text from docx file in php? Or is there any linux command for this?

I can extract text from pdf and doc, so docx to pdf or doc conversion in php (or linux command) will also work for me.

You can extract the text from docx file, please find the below code and you need to install ZipArchive file

public function docx_to_text($filename)
{
    $input_file = 'tmp_file.zip';
    copy($filename, $input_file);    //copy file with path (content) to temp.zip file

    $xml_filename = "word/document.xml"; //content file name
    $zip_handle = new ZipArchive;
    $output_text = "";

    if(true === $zip_handle->open($input_file))
    {
        if(($xml_index = $zip_handle->locateName($xml_filename)) !== false)
        {
            $xml_datas = $zip_handle->getFromIndex($xml_index);
            $xml_handle = DOMDocument::loadXML($xml_datas, LIBXML_NOENT | LIBXML_XINCLUDE | LIBXML_NOERROR | LIBXML_NOWARNING);
            $output_text = strip_tags($xml_handle->saveXML());
        }
        else
        {
            $output_text .="";
        }
        $zip_handle->close();
    }
    else
    {
        $output_text .="";
    }
    return $output_text;
}

It's quite easy to extract the text from the docx, you don't even need a dependency (except for the zip module which you should activate)

<?php

function read_docx($filename) {
    $striped_content = '';
    $content = '';

    $zip = zip_open($filename);

    if (!$zip || is_numeric($zip))
        return false;

    while ($zip_entry = zip_read($zip)) {

        if (zip_entry_open($zip, $zip_entry) == FALSE)
            continue;

        if (zip_entry_name($zip_entry) != "word/document.xml")
            continue;

        $content .= zip_entry_read($zip_entry, zip_entry_filesize($zip_entry));

        zip_entry_close($zip_entry);
    }// end while

    zip_close($zip);

    $content = str_replace('</w:r></w:p></w:tc><w:tc>', " ", $content);
    $content = str_replace('</w:r></w:p>', "\r\n", $content);
    $striped_content = strip_tags($content);

    return $striped_content;
}


echo read_docx("textExample.docx");

Thanks to Muhammad's question

Make use of OpenTBS.

After including it .. Do like this..

include_once('tbs_class.php');
include_once('../tbs_plugin_opentbs.php');
$TBS = new clsTinyButStrong;
$TBS->Plugin(TBS_INSTALL, OPENTBS_PLUGIN);
$TBS->LoadTemplate('filename.docx');
echo $string = $TBS->Source; // your docx content is now in this variable
