I have seen several threads on this, but I haven’t really seen any definite solutions.
What I’d like to do is create a website that professors can go to, pick out their images and then say create PowerPoint. PHP would then dynamically create a PowerPoint with each image a new slide and the image filling the frame, and then have the ability to save the files on their computer.
I have seen some small examples with COM, which as far as I understand is windows only. My serves is running on Linux.
Is there anyway to create a PowerPoint with PHP from a Linux box? If I have to use COM, I can set up another server with windows.
Any help or direction to more info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Alex
