Hi,

U can read the file content using the file_get_contents() function. But if the file is DOC or RTF format I think extracting the necessary or relevant information from the file will be not be a easier task. u need to use collection of words of relevant words and also need to use pattern searching.

Do do this u need to be master in file handling using php and regular expression expert.

You can read the Doc file using COM.

re: Parse Doc file using php

Hi,

its true that u can use COM for reading the files. But there r 2 requirements u need to fulfill to do this.

1. Server has be Windows server.
2. COM support has to be installed for php.

If the 2 above said condition fulfilled then u can go for using COM, but in most cases u will get LAMP rather than WAMP.
