Hi!

A customer wants to be able to upload MS Word files, and "automatically" be able to view these documents online.

I know this can be done if you have some sort of Word Viewer installed, but is it possible for php to read/decode the word-file, and then display it correctly with html-code?

Thanks!

Torbjørn

    The Word transcoding that is built into the BadBlue Win32 server might help.

    Otherwise, you'll probably have to buy some commercial library to display this stuff. COM support won't do the trick (performance among other reasons).
