Googling around turned up some matches, but I could not get them to work properly. Also, one of them called `passthru()` to use a RTF2HTML executable, which is something I didn’t want. I was looking for an RTF to HTML converter written purely in PHP. Since I couldn’t find anything ready-made, I sat down and coded one up myself. It’s short, and it works, implementing the subset of RTF tags that you’ll need in HTML and ignoring the rest. As it turns out, the RTF format isn’t that complicated when you really look at it, but it isn’t something you code a parser for in 15 minutes either. How to use it ------------- [](#how-to-use-it) Install this package using composer. Then do this: ``` use RtfHtmlPhp\Document; $rtf = file_get_contents("test.rtf"); $document = new Document($rtf); // or use a string directly ``` `Document` will raise an exception if the RTF document could not be parsed. Parse errors will generate PHP notices. If you’d like to see what the parser read (for debug purposes), then call this: ``` echo $document; ``` To convert the parser’s parse tree to HTML, call this (but only if the RTF was successfully parsed): ``` use RtfHtmlPhp\Html\HtmlFormatter; $formatter = new HtmlFormatter(); echo $formatter->Format($document); ``` For enhanced compatibility the default character encoding of the converted RTF unicode characters is set to `HTML-ENTITIES`. To change the default encoding, you can initialize the `Html` object with the desired encoding supported by `mb_list_encodings()`: ex. `UTF-8` ``` $formatter = new HtmlFormatter('UTF-8'); ``` Install via Composer -------------------- [](#install-via-composer) ``` composer require henck/rtf-to-html ``` Caveats ------- [](#caveats) - Please note that rtf-html-php requires your PHP installation to support the `mb_convert_encoding` function. Therefore you must have the `php-mbstring` module installed. For fresh PHP installations, it will usually be there. ### Health Score 61 — FairBetter than 99% of packages Maintenance82 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity56 Moderate usage in the ecosystem Community32 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity64 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor2 2 contributors hold 50%+ of commits How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
