Hi !

I want to fetch text from .doc / .docx file and save it into database
file.
But when I tried to fetch text with fopen/fgets etc ... It gave me
special
characters with text.

(With .txt files everything is fine)
Only problem is with doc/docx files.
I dont know whow to remove "SPECIAL CHARACTERS" from this text ...

A.) This has been handled on this list several times. Please search the
archives before posting a question.
B.) Did you even TRY to Google for this? In the first 5 matches for "php
open ms word" I found this:

uments-via-php-and-com-81/

You will need an MS Windows machine for this solution to work. If you're
using *nix... well... good luck.
