Word already does it. Save as --> Save as Type, select *.html.

However, don't do this, because it will come out like shit.

I know that function, but i want to do it in the server. The classes i
find all uses word or i need to install something extra, that's not
good.

I don't think you'll find anything which doesn't require Word or some other
extra. Converting from a Word document to HTML can be quite complicated.

There are a couple of command line utilities for Linux to do this.
Personally I use wvWare (wvHTML for your purposes, although I tend to use
wvText for what I require).

Another utility is Antiword, although that doesn't export HTML only
XML/Docbook - so you'd need to convert that afterwards.

Cheers,

I just noticed in another post you said without installing anything extra
- in that case your SOL!

However, compiling wvware and keeping the binary within your
webroot shouldn't be hard... Just make sure Apache doesn't have write
permissions to it.

Cheers,

Since that's the case, don't you think it would be time to re-think the
situation? Like why use doc's anyway? Who is the supplier of these word
documents and why do they need to be converted to html? Could the supplier
use another format instead of word? Since your options converting it at
server side are pretty limited, would it be possible to do the conversion in
the client side? What's the whole scenario here?

Actually, it's not. You can write a VBA macro in Word to process a
folder full of Word documents, and re-save them as HTML.

Either way, why does this require converting everything to HTML? Why
can't your database keep things in their original Word format?

Re: MS Word to HTML

Good.

You can use COM with php.
But it needs MS office should be installed in server.

using com, do the following,

1. open a word document
2. copy the content to clipboard
3. open a new word doc
4. insert <html> <pre>
5. paste from clip board
6. insert </pre></html>
7. save as the document as filename.html

Do the same for every documents.

This will work if the docs contains only text.

If complicated tables, links, diagrams, i dont know.

Wishes.

You choose the wrong tool.

Word has excellent VB scripting. But you will need Word and local access
to those documents. That can be achieved via PHP webservice on the said
server, which will have 3 functions - something to the extent of:

EnumerateDocume nts()
DownloadWordDoc ument()
UploadHtmlDocum ent()

and client on your desktop, which will fetch those documents, convert
them and uploads new version back.

If you do not have Word, or your desktop is Linux, then Open Office 2.0
has excellent Word support and somewhat documented API accessible
directly to Basic / Java / JavaScript / Python and indirectly via COM or
..NET technologies.

Re: MS Word to HTML

The fact is that the entire process must be automatic, all my friends
should be able to upload and see what they did in the page. I want to
do something as google.
