read word document in php

Question

I\'m doing a project now, and I\'m stuck with reading word documents.

Word File content.

This is a test word file in PHP.

Thank you.

Answer 1

Word document isn't stored conveniently like a text file (it's more like xml / binary file), so you can't just use echo and expects it to output the human readable portion of the docx file.

There's a library that could do what you want, but it takes only doc file
