How to display office documents in PHP?

I am developing an application where I needed to display various documents like PDF, MS Excel, MS Word, PPT etc using php how to do it?

Do you mean open them, and display in a browser?
It is not usually done this way.
Normally a link which gives a user the option of downloading or opening the file is how it is handled.

I dont want users to download them. Just display the content.

The content will be gibberish in a browser.
For an example, open them in a simple text editor such as notepad.

For MS documents it is possible using COM and appropiate headers and CSS.
But I don't know how well they work
