What format are the resumes in? Are the MS Word documents? PDFs? Text
files?
In my opinion your project scope needs some help. I'm guessing using a
good old form is out of the question?

Once you extract the textual contents of the resume from whatever
format it is in (e.g. Word), you're best bet for parsing will most
likely be regular expressions. If your input has a set format, it
should be fairly easy to parse. If it doesn't have a set format, it's
going to be very, very difficult.

PHP and most other languages have support for regular expressions.

Word documents are quite complex internally. I'd look outside this
list (read Google) for tools that can parse Word doc's.

It's not so hard to parse Word. There are already libraries for it.
And if non suits your needs, you can just use XPath, XSL, etc. as the
latest versions (I'm assuming you are working with the latest versions
of Word) is in XML.

The biggest problem will be to parse resumes that do not follow any
particular format. Take a look at www.monster.com. It tries to parse
uploaded resumes.

Didn't someone post this link here recently?

It creates and reads Word documents.

Looks like that allows you to create Word documents, not convert it to
text.

Converting Word to plain text is going to be the least of your
headaches. Trying to parse the resume will be a HUGE challenge. I do
not envy you.

I seriously doubt this can be done. The reason is, if 10 people submit a resume then that will be 10 completely different resumes. You could make everyone use a standard word document so you know where the info is, but you will prolly run into more issues. Why not just use a form, validate input, and have it send you an email or insert the info into a database?

While it's prbly true that conventional parsing isn't feasible, if
there's a reasonable number of words of interest then mebbe scanning
for those cd provide some categorization.

Similarly, you can prbly find a phone number based on its
characteristics. And, if you can find a zip code, then some backing
up might find an address and name.

Maybe worth the trouble, but probably not.
