LiveDocx in PHP

I am delighted to announce that version 2.0.0beta2 of the Zend Framework now contains the latest LiveDocx components, tests and demo applications.

You can download one of the official distribution files from:

• http://packages.zendframework.com/

Or take a look at the source directly on GitHub.

Feel free to download the framework and try out the latest LiveDocx demo applications. I have not only ported all those from Zend Framework 1, but also added some new ones for Zend Framework 2.

Happy coding!

In the January 2012 issue of the German language magazine PHP Magazin, an interesting little article about generating thumbnail images of MS Word files using LiveDocx was published.

You can download the clipping below:

• Word-Thumbnails mit PHP (in German)

Or follow the link (http://bit.ly/oOyJ4E), mentioned in the article.

The brief article discusses a technique originally published by Philip Norton in his blog back in September 2011.

Thanks to all those who attended my LiveDocx lightening talk at PHPNW11 and for the interesting discussion afterwards.

I will be attending the social event this evening. Feel free to approach me to talk more about using LiveDocx with the Zend Framework and generally in PHP.

You can download the slides to the presentation. You can also contact me, if you have any further questions.

Thank you for attention during the lightening talk.
