I want to decode a ms word file to display on a php page, like a simple include !

but the client want to upload a word file to read it after on a simple html page.... how can we do it with a php function ?

There's no simple function (not yet).

I would use a extra tool like 'antiword', wich decodes ms-word files. It is available for several platforms (including linux and windows).

It should be no problem to call this from your php-code and embed the output into a html-page.
