NikkiLoveGod Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I havent personally tried reading a .doc file, but I really suggest that you'll change the .doc to a .rtf, .txt, or other unformatted text file. The junkdata you are getting MIGHT be the .doc files other 'non relevant' information, such as formatting, columns, colors, indentation and so on. If this didn't help, post a bit more information. Good luck! Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/100268-can-any-one-tel-me-how-to-readdoc-file/#findComment-512677 Share on other sites More sharing options...

unsider Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 .doc is not an acceptable format, it would be best to use .txt or .rtf for PHP Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/100268-can-any-one-tel-me-how-to-readdoc-file/#findComment-512689 Share on other sites More sharing options...
anushka Posted April 9, 2008 Author Share Posted April 9, 2008 can i convert .doc file to .txt file internally through programing. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/100268-can-any-one-tel-me-how-to-readdoc-file/#findComment-512695 Share on other sites More sharing options...
unsider Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 can i convert .doc file to .txt file internally through programing. I suppose so, but not with a 'language' like PHP, that would require a 'lower-level' language. I'm not qualified to answer that question, but I'm sure it involves a good bit of knowledge. If you can't read the contents of the .doc file I'd suggest looking for alternatives to reading it, or just trying to recreate it on a .txt file (if possible). Either way, .doc is not an acceptable format.

writer Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 That's good to know, anushka. Thanks. I wonder if I can stir up any tutorials on converting .doc to .txt behind-the-scenes. If anyone can find one before me, please post it here. It would be pretty useful to allow users to upload .doc's.
