Search keywords within MS WORD documents

[Anon]

Hi guys,

I have a few MS WORD documents that i would like to open, parse, and search for keywords (like a search engine) using PHP scripts, and then return their urls if they do match the searched keywords. I don't really have an idea about how to do the keywords search within a MS WORD document through PHP!

Does anyone know where to begin (PHP + COM resources, links, code snippets, good examples, tutorials, etc.)? Any advices will be very welcome!!!

Thank you!

Try to fopen() the document and then strstr() function which searches for a given text in a string. fopen() will oen the document, store all text in a variable and the apply strstr() on that variable. This will work.

If you have not used fopen() and strstr(), goto www.php.net and search for these two functions. They are there with examples.
