extracting MS word, excel and ppt

[shanx24]

i have a upload functionality on my website where users can upload word + excel + ppt documents on my website.

how can i dynamically extract the text posted in these documents, and post it onto the database apart from uploading these documents into the webserver?

thanks!

Look up freshmeat.net for word2x, catdoc, antiword, pdf2html, pdf2text, xlhtml

Hope that gets you started..

Good luck,
