PHP uses a standard code to display the pdf file in web browser. The process of displaying pdf involves location of the PDF file on the server and it uses various types of headers to define content composition in form of type, Disposition, Transfer-Encoding etc. PHP passes the PDF files to read it on the browser. Browser either shows it or download it from localhost server then display pdf.

Note: PHP is not actually reading the PDF file. It does not recognize File as pdf. It only passes the PDF file to the browser to be read there. If copy the pdf file inside htdocs folder of XAMPP then it does not need to specify the file path.

Example 1: This example display the pdf file on the browser.

<?php

$file = 'filename.pdf';

$filename = 'filename.pdf';

header('Content-type: application/pdf');

header('Content-Disposition: inline; filename="' . $filename . '"');

header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');

header('Accept-Ranges: bytes');

@readfile($file);

?>

Output:

Example 2:
this examples displays a format and explains every section of code

<?php

$filename = "/path/to/the/file.pdf";

header("Content-type: application/pdf");

header("Content-Length: " . filesize($filename));

readfile($filename);

?>

Output:

PHP is a server-side scripting language designed specifically for web development. You can learn PHP from the ground up by following this PHP Tutorial and PHP Examples.

In this article, we will learn how you can show/read PDF file contents on a browser using PHP.

We have to include an external PHP file named “class.pdf2text.php“. Include it in the required web page using PHP. Create an HTML form, in which we can choose a PDF file from your computer and also check whether its file extension is PDF or not.

Approach: Make sure you have a XAMPP server or WAMP server installed on your machine. In this article, we will be using the XAMPP server.

Project folder structure and files:: Create a folder for your project and add class.pdf2text.php. Create a new index.php file. Keep your main project folder (for example.. example/pdf here) in the “C://xampp/htdocs/” if you are using XAMPP or “C://wamp64/www/” folder if you are using the WAMP server respectively.

The folder structure should look like this:

folder structure

index.php: Below is the PHP source code for attaching the pdf file using HTML form and reading its content. Let us first understand the PHP part.

In the below code, the first if block verifies whether there is any file attached or not using the PHP isset() function. And the second if block verifies that the uploaded file is a PDF file. $_FILES is a two-dimensional superglobal associative array of items that are being uploaded via the HTTP POST method. Then we are instantiating the pdf2text() method in $a and finally return the contents of the pdf file.

In the HTML <form> tag, we are using “enctype=’multipart/form-data” which is an encoding type that allows files to be sent through a POST method. Without this encoding, the files cannot be sent through the POST method. We must use this enctype if you want to allow users to upload a file through a form.

PHP

<?php

require('class.pdf2text.php');

extract($_POST);

if(isset($readpdf)){

if($_FILES['file']['type']=="application/pdf") {

$a = new PDF2Text();

$a->setFilename($_FILES['file']['tmp_name']);

$a->decodePDF();

echo $a->output();

}

else {

echo "<p style='color:red; text-align:center'>

Wrong file format</p>

";

}

?>

<html>

<head>

<title>Read pdf php</title>

</head>

<body>

<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">

Choose Your File

<input type="file" name="file" />

<br>

<input type="submit" value="Read PDF" name="readpdf" />

</form>

</body>

</html>

Output: Finally, you should be able to read the contents of the PDF file on the browser.
