I need code
It does not work like this here.

Here is what is expected of enquirers:
1. TRY first what you want to do! You may find that it's not that hard.
2. Formulate what was done by you that looks like an issue/not working.

Try them and tell if you face issues.

Hi this is my code:

$path="sa.doc";
$str = file_get_contents($path);

function count_words($string)
{
$string = htmlspecialchars_decode(strip_tags($string));
if (strlen($string)==0)
return 0;
$t = array(' '=>1, '_'=>1, "\x20"=>1, "\xA0"=>1, "\x0A"=>1, "\x0D"=>1, "\x09"=>1, "\x0B"=>1, "\x2E"=>1, "\t"=>1, '='=>1, '+'=>1, '-'=>1, '*'=>1, '/'=>1, '\\'=>1, ','=>1, '.'=>1, ';'=>1, ':'=>1, '"'=>1, '\''=>1, '['=>1, ']'=>1, '{'=>1, '}'=>1, '('=>1, ')'=>1, '<'=>1, '>'=>1, '&'=>1, '%'=>1, '$'=>1, '@'=>1, '#'=>1, '^'=>1, '!'=>1, '?'=>1); // separators
$count= isset($t[$string[0]])? 0:1;
if (strlen($string)==1)
return $count;
for ($i=1;$i

Solution 1

Here is a Stack Overflow question that will get you started:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/188452/reading-writing-a-ms-word-file-in-php[^]

Once you are able to read the Word document, you just need to then write it out to a text file.

This will not be an easy process, nor will it be a completely accurate process. You will get close but I would be shocked if you ever got a fully-working solution that was 100% accurate. Converting Word documents is not simple, and doing it in php makes it tougher.

Sorry, I don't have one for you. You are going to need to do your own legwork on this one. The link above gives you full code snippets. Start there and see how far you get.

The problem is not 100% accuracy, the problem is that the term "convert" is not strictly defined here, that's it.
Other than that, this is a pretty accurate answer, I don't know know how many per cent; my 5 :-)
