Parsing word document using PHP

[mohammedsk]

Can somebody please give me a hint on how to parse a word document using PHP and print out the lines.

I know that I can use shell_exec and catdoc, but my host does not support the function catdoc.

Or if there is another way to convert a document file to a text file.

Thanks,

Take a look at this PHP Class

http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/package/3553.html

At that same site, package MS Files converter is PHP4 and can convert .doc to .txt or .html. Caveat: it needs MS Word to run.
