Thanks for any help.

Are you wanting to just convert/clean the markup generated by MS Word? (to strip out all the extra tags/bumf)
Maybe a function like this?: http://forums.squizsuite.net/index.php?showtopic=11304

Or maybe something here?: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4587216/how-can-i-convert-a-docx-document-to-html-using-php

It's going to be a mess. The styling is just different, and whatever happens it won't work out perfectly or be optimal HTML code.

Your best option is to re-create everything in HTML based loosely on the Word document. That's more work, but, well, the formats are just incompatible.


You CAN get a readable webpage from a Word document, but it won't be a good webpage. It depends on your goals.

@djr33 : Yes i just need to have the text of the document only. Format doesn't matters in my case.
Anyways thanks.

@Beverleyh : Thanks for your reply, but it doesn't work with my Wamp.
I am getting null value of $index.
Do i need to start any service ?

Anyways thanks.Ok, that's reasonable then.

Do you need .doc and .docx? The latter may be possible using just PHP with an XML parser. The former will need something more specific, specially designed for reading the .doc format.

I do need for both.
Actually Customers on my site will upload their doc/docx file. I have to show these files in my CKEditor in backend when they logedin into their account, So that they can chage if they need something to change.

I can not change the concept of uploading doc.docx file, It is on of the requirement of this project. I have to find the way to solve this problem.

By the way i tried with .doc file when it gives null $index. Do you have any solution for this ?

I got one solution to get contents from doc/docs file is file_get_contents(). or you can also open file using fopen() then Read file using fread().
Both the methods will gove only texts(Contents), You can not able to get exact structure.!!
