This is a simple PHP Wrapper for Apache Tika.
It allows the developer to retrieve text, metadata and language from complex documents.
It supports opendocument, office .doc and .docx, pdf, images, videos and a lot more !
See http://tika.apache.org/1.1/formats.html for details.
Add the package dependency enzim/tika-wrapper
in your composer.json
{
"require": {
"enzim/tika-wrapper": "dev-master"
}
}
Install the neww package with composer, and that's it!
php composer.phar install
For convenience, the package include the tika-app jar file, which is quite big (25MB). The download may take time!
See http://packagist.org for more details. (Don't forget to add
require 'vendor/.composer/autoload.php';
in your autoloading php file).
See example/ (more docs to come soon) for an example:
git clone [email protected]:pierroweb/PhpTikaWrapper.git
cd PhpTikaWrapper
cd example/with-composer
curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php
php composer.phar install
