    PHP & Powerpoint?

    I hope I'm posting this in the right place...

    We are planning a website to be written in PHP (hopefully). One section
    of the site will offer powerpoint slide presentations for download.

    Are there any PHP-related tools/utils/code/3rd-party stuff that can
    facilitate the dynamic assembly of ppt presentations from single slide
    presentations- in other words, we want to allow the user to pick and
    choose which slides they are interested in, and then build a powerpoint
    presentation on the fly containing just their selected slides. The user
    could then download this dynamically built presentation.

    Is this possible? I was always told that *anything* is possible...

    Thanks,

    Matt

      By whom? And how much did you pay for this advice?

      You'll need ti use COM to do this.

          By my mom, rest her soul.

          Ah, I see. That makes sense. Do you know of any COM objects that offer
          the functionality I have described, or would I have to look into
          creating my own COM objects (ugh)?

          I will poke around a bit, but perhaps you could offer an opinion on any
          experiences integrating COM objects in PHP code?

          Thanks again,

          Matt
