how to using php read data from word (.doc) file, data in a table.

If the word doc is saved as HTML, it is possible that a lot of parsing might be able to make sense of it, but in general a word document is so loaded with proprietary codes controls and formatting that it is not suitable for uses by anything outside of Office, and sometimes even other Office components have a problem with compatibility.

Please post the test data and show us what you want to get for output, thanks. ~Ray

Comment edited to put the code into the code snippet ~Ray

I use this code to read the word document.

function parseWord($userDoc) 
{
    $fileHandle = fopen($userDoc, "r");
    $word_text = @fread($fileHandle, filesize($userDoc));
    $line = "";
    $tam = filesize($userDoc);
    $nulos = 0;
    $caracteres = 0;
    for($i=1536; $i<$tam; $i++)
    {
        $line .= $word_text[$i];

        if( $word_text[$i] == 0)
        {
            $nulos++;
        }
        else
        {
            $nulos=0;
            $caracteres++;
        }

        if( $nulos>1996)
        {   
            break;  
        }
    }

    //echo $caracteres;

    $lines = explode(chr(0x0D),$line);
    //$outtext = "<pre>";

    $outtext = "";
    foreach($lines as $thisline)
    {
        $tam = strlen($thisline);
        if( !$tam )
        {
            continue;
        }

        $new_line = ""; 
        for($i=0; $i<$tam; $i++)
        {
            $onechar = $thisline[$i];
            if( $onechar > chr(240) )
            {
                continue;
            }

            if( $onechar >= chr(0x20) )
            {
                $caracteres++;
                $new_line .= $onechar;
            }

            if( $onechar == chr(0x14) )
            {
                $new_line .= "</a>";
            }

            if( $onechar == chr(0x07) )
            {
                $new_line .= "\t";
                if( isset($thisline[$i+1]) )
                {
                    if( $thisline[$i+1] == chr(0x07) )
                    {
                        $new_line .= "\n";
                    }
                }
            }
        }
        //troca por hiperlink
        $new_line = str_replace("HYPERLINK" ,"<a href=",$new_line); 
        $new_line = str_replace("\o" ,">",$new_line); 
        $new_line .= "\n";

        //link de imagens
        $new_line = str_replace("INCLUDEPICTURE" ,"<br><img src=",$new_line); 
        $new_line = str_replace("\*" ,"><br>",$new_line); 
        $new_line = str_replace("MERGEFORMATINET" ,"",$new_line); 


        $outtext .= nl2br($new_line);
    }

 return $outtext;
} 

$userDoc = "customers.doc";
$text = parseWord($userDoc);

Select allOpen in new window

Also  I use some code to get the  data array:

$olines=explode("<br />", $text);

$slines=array();
foreach( $olines as $orow ){
	$ovalue=explode("	", $orow);
	if(count($ovalue)>5)$slines[]=$ovalue;
}
print_r($slines);

Select allOpen in new window

For now, it can show the data, but it is not good enough.
Anyone can help me.

Thanks

Thanks for posting that code.  I don't know if it works or can be made to work because I do not have any test data and I do not know exactly what output you want to get from your test data.  Without the test data, we would just be wasting your time by guessing.  Please post the test data and show us what you want to get for output.  This article explains why we want test data.

Thanks, ~Ray

Please check the attach, it is data file.

I would like get the data array.
but now the array do not show perfect.
