There is no PHP-native method for that. But a Python commandline utility exists (which in turn could be called from a PHP script). It needs to invoke an OpenOffice instance over UNO. This is a significant overhead (if not already running), and probably not feasible to set up on shared hosting. But anyway, Openoffice can convert PPT files into SWF animations: http://www.artofsolving.com/opensource/pyodconverter
