Reading Word 2007 Files

[Bobro]

Hello,

 

I'm trying to read some .doc or .docx files or make any contact with word 2007 but so far i'm getting nothing, i tried to get it working even used the example code from php.net but it still refuses to work with word, i don't know why.

 

The example code from php.net

<?php
// starting word
$word = new COM("word.application") or die("Unable to instantiate Word");
echo "Loaded Word, version {$word->Version}\n";

//bring it to front
$word->Visible = 1;

//open an empty document
$word->Documents->Add();

//do some weird stuff
$word->Selection->TypeText("This is a test...");
$word->Documents[1]->SaveAs("Useless test.doc");

//closing word
$word->Quit();

//free the object
$word = null;
?>

 

Fatal error: Call to undefined method variant::SaveAs()

or

Fatal error: Call to undefined method variant::Quit()

 

Also tried

$content = (string) $word->ActiveDocument->Content;
echo $content;

And various stuff with

$word->ActiveDocument
$word->Documents[1]
$word->Documents[0]
$word->Documents

 

All i'm getting is function not found or an infinite time loop until i kill the word process...
