Not sure if its a php issue but does anyone know how to or where i should start looking to get microsoft documents like word and excel to display in the browser, they dont need to be editable, just viewable...
Was thinking that there might be a way to convert them to a pdf and display that?

Any And All Help Appreciated,
Many Thanks
Chris Bull

If the docs don't have to be editable, why not save the excel/word document as html?

They're not my docs. My company would like a preview for some docs before the employee downloads it.
Thanks for the reply

Honestly, I would just look into using Google Docs, much more robust that what you can build yourself.
