Doing Wordcount in PHP of files like DOC, RTF, TXT

[tvks]

Hi all,

 

I am right now stuck with a project of selecting multiple files (File

format: only doc, txt and rtf) and onclick of the submit, I must

generate a report on how many characters, words, line breaks,

sentences are there in each of the selected files.

 

Thanx for any help,

 

Regards

The text file bit is easy

<?php
    $txt = file_get_contents('myfile.txt');
    
    $chars = count_chars($txt);
    $w = str_word_count($txt);
    $c = strlen($txt) ;
    
    echo "Characters : $c <br>";
    echo "Words    : $w <br>" ;
    echo "Sentences : $chars[46] <br>";
    echo "Newlines : $chars[13] <br>";
    
?>

 

For the Word and rtf files you will need COM objects. The properties and methods available for word documents can be at the MSDN site.
