[PHP] ms-word reading from PHP on linux O.S

[Srinivasa Rao D]

Hi all,
  * How better, i can  read ms-word doc files  from PHP on LINUX OS*.On
searching I got *catdoc* softaware.By using this i can read word doc data as
a text.

function catdoc_file($fname)
{

$ret = exec('catdoc -ab '.escapeshellarg($fname) .' 2>&1');

if (preg_match('/^sh: line 1: catdoc/i',$ret)) {
return false;
}

return trim($ret);
}
It is working well.

  *Is there are any other softwares that can fetch text from MS-WORD file?.*
