title: Can PHP read text from a PowerPoint file?
body: <p>I want to have PHP read an (uploaded) powerpoint presentation, and minimally extract the text from each slide (grabbing more info like images and layouts would even be better, but I would settle for just the text at this point).</p>
  
  <p>I know that google apps does it in its presentation app, so I am guessing there is some way to translate the powerpoint binary, but I can't seem to find any info on how to do it.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas on what to try?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks -</p>
