Well I tried finding this information all over and all I could find were people trying to edit Word docs with php. I, rather, am trying to just load them into a variable to search through them.
The server is Linux and not windows so we will not have the application on the serv.
thanks in advance

Microsoft Word Documents are nothing but text underneath a ton of formatting. Just use fopen() or fread() to put it in a variable, then search through it.
Ya I actually tried that and I have a test word doc with about five words. When opened it showed about 1000 characters. I was hoping there was a way to get all the formatting removed
