README

A PHP library to read files page by page, supporting multiple formats like TXT, PDF, DOCX, and ODT. Each file type is handled by a dedicated reader class, all following a unified interface for seamless integration.

📦 Installation

You can install the library via Composer:

composer require mjohann/paginated-file-reader

⚙️ Requirements

• PHP 8.0 or higher

🚀 Features

• Read files page by page (pagination logic varies by file type)
• Supported formats:
  • .txt and .md (50 lines per page)
  • .pdf (using smalot/pdfparser)
  • .docx (using phpoffice/phpword)
  • .odt (using native ZipArchive)
• Easily extendable for other file types
• Unified interface for all readers

🧪 Usage Example

<?php

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use MJohann\Packlib\PaginatedFileReader;

$reader = new PaginatedFileReader('path/to/your/file.pdf');

// Read page 0
echo $reader->readPage(0);

// Get total pages
echo $reader->getTotalPages();
