Hi.

Word files are not text files, so using functions like fopen to read them is useless.
As far as I can see, they are either encoded or compressed, so you would need some tool to convert them into text.

If your server is running on Windows, you could possibly use COM. (Google can help you there.)

Word can save files as a number of other formats tho, so if you have can, try to save them as plain text, HTML or XML. It would be much easier to work with any of those.
