Word/Excel 2 view in Web App, Libre/OpenOffice or others

Hi, I am writing a PHP Web application and look for a way to convert and show documents (esp. Word and Excel, old and new format) I found a Open/LibreOffice converter service: http://zawmn83.wordpress.com/2008/08/12/php-convert-microsoft-word-doc-docx-... I would like to restrict the LibreOffice to this tool only. I glanced over the Makefile but could not make sense of many options. Did someone achieve this before? Or are there other ways? Thanks for ideas Peter

If you can run shell commands from your application, try unoconv, e.g., unoconv -f html document-filenames It requires LibreOffice and, as I remember, you can't have multiple instances running simultaneously. (I suppose you could rework it a little to run multiple LibreOffice instances on different ports if necessary). It's a Python script.
