Can this work with windows? Do I need any special setup requirements?

[rahmanramsi]

I create a new class that can handle for windows user

here u can see this, btw I'm using CI3 framework :

`<?php

use NcJoes\OfficeConverter\OfficeConverter;

/* windows user will need this Set Environment for Windows OS

• Environment Variables
  • System Variables
  • Path
    • Path to LibreOffice/Program */

class PDF { public static function convert($pathTarget, $output = false) { /**

• change extensions
• pathinfo('test', PATHINFO_FILENAME) . '.pdf';

•  */
  try {
      // handle windows version
      if (strtoupper(substr(PHP_OS, 0, 3)) === 'WIN') {
          $converter = new OfficeConverter($pathTarget, null, 'soffice', false);
          if ($output != false) {
              $converter = new OfficeConverter($pathTarget, $output, 'soffice', false);
          }
      } else {
          // handle linux version
          $converter = new OfficeConverter($pathTarget);
          if ($output != false) {
              $converter = new OfficeConverter($pathTarget, $output);
          }
      }
      $output_pdf = pathinfo($pathTarget, PATHINFO_FILENAME) . '.pdf'; //change the name to pdf
      $result     = $converter->convertTo($output_pdf);
  } catch (Exception $e) {
      echo 'Error Caught, ' . $e->getMessage();
      return;
  }
  return $result;

  } } `

With Some Tweak in constructor we can make this work on windows. ` public function __construct($filename, $tempPath = null, $bin = 'libreoffice', $prefixExecWithExportHome = true) { if(str_contains(PHP_OS, 'WIN')) { $bin = "soffice"; // soffice: libra office window binary $path = storage_path('app/files'); //@$path for file ouput putenv("HOME=".$path); // adding env variable on server } if ($this->open($filename)) { $this->setup($tempPath, $bin, $prefixExecWithExportHome); } }
