Hello,

http://www.phpwordlib.motion-bg.com/ Looks good...but cost $..so doesn't 
look so good.
But has a demo.


Also, this code snippet:

One easy way to grab the text from a word doc is to use the command line
program catdoc.

here are a couple of examples to get you started.

Dan

function catdoc_string($str)
{
	// requires catdoc

	// write to temp file
	$tmpfname = tempnam ('/tmp','doc');
	$handle = fopen($tmpfname,'w');
	fwrite($handle,$a);
	fclose($handle);

	// run catdoc
	$ret = shell_exec('catdoc -ab '.escapeshellarg($tmpfname) .' 2>&1');

	// remove temp file
	unlink($tmpfname);

	if (preg_match('/^sh: line 1: catdoc/i',$ret)) {
		return false;
	}

	return trim($ret);
}

function catdoc_file($fname)
{
	// requires catdoc

	// run catdoc
	$ret = shell_exec('catdoc -ab '.escapeshellarg($fname) .' 2>&1');

	if (preg_match('/^sh: line 1: catdoc/i',$ret)) {
		return false;
	}

	return trim($ret);
