PHP viewer for Powerpoint

emetib

Any one know of a open source PHP viewer that people can upload Powerpoint presentations to me site for viewing?

you don't need an kind of viewer to just host the files on your site, but the clients\users will have to have something to be able to view the file

So what would they need?
I want a link from a powerpoint page image TO a click of the presentation.

I wish to display an image of a powerpoint presentation which when clicked will go to a viewer so the presentation can be seen.

Like Youtube displays an image of a video which can be seen once their image is clicked.

What php code can I use to display the powerpoint presentation once an image is clicked?

dagon

the viewer has to be on the clients machine.

It might be possible to do something server-side, especially if on a Windows server that has Office installed. You might then be able to use [man]COM[/man] functions to interact with it, though it still would be non-trivial, and you would need to figure out how to get from a PPT file into a JPEG or other web-friendly image format. And, of course you could try searching sourceforge.net and all the other likely candidates for existing scripts, classes, etc. that someone has already developed for interacting with PPT.

This would not be a hosted solution, but have you looked at using something like slideshare.net? You can upload the presentations there for someone to view online.

YES Sop21

I wish to host presentations like slideshare does so my visitors can view them.

I want a code like ssplayer2.swf which they use.

No software to download and install for the site visitor ... nothing on visitors PC.

Just an image to click which takes you to the player so the presentation can be seen.

Just like slideshare or youtube.

Where can I locate the powerpoint player ... player.swf which i can add to my code?

if you google power point to flash there's several dozen solutions.
