You didn't specify what file type so I will assume you meant PDFs. There are a number of linux based utilities to convert a PDF to HTML. Check out Poppler. Your PHP would run the pdf2html command using exec (or a similar function) and save the HTMl to a folder where you could grab it and send it to any client asking for the HTML version.
If you were looking to convert from Word to HTML (again, you didn't specify what file type) take a look at wvWare.
