SetToLoki Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 looking for every ones views on the best way to go about a project I am about to start. the idea is to have a folder full of .doc word documents and to somehow be able to search the content in them. There is 15 or so doc files so far not sure if more will be added in future but would like the ability to do so without to much effort. my idea is to store them in a folder, and use the fopen commands etc. to open and search the contents, though this sounds like it could be slow, they are quite hefty documents. Another choice is to add the contents of each one to a mysql database and search that. anybody else have an idea how to go about this?

MatthewJ Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Reading .doc files is not as easy as using fopen(). You might have a look at this link http://davidwalsh.name/read-pdf-doc-file-php.
