Hi All,

I manage an intranet website that allows users to publish docs pertaining to
a particular product. These docs can be any form, but mostly Word, Excel,
and PowerPoint files. Can php extract the document info from these files?
I'd be interested in extracting the documents title from the document
properties.

Thanks,
Dang Nguyen

Hi,

I would go to the ht://Dig web site (www.htdig.org), see what filter they
use for Word documents, then call it from PHP.

A Google search by something like "Word document filter unix" should turn up
some info.

All you need is some kind of an external program or script you can call from
PHP.

Dave.
