RE: [PHP-DB] Re: Searching Documents

correct to my knowledge..... I am not sure even running ASP on a linux server would allow you to open the word documents, as I think ASP uses COM to do the dirty work..... of course, you could always do the world a favor and not use microsoft's proprietary file formats in any way. an open standard will always be easier and be able to reach the most people--even micorosft products can read open standard documents, why shutoff the rest of the world to what you are doing by using M$? glad to hear you are running linux, though, so you must already know most of this.... :-) best of luck in your endeavors! court > -----Original Message----- > Now, if I do COM with PHP, then does this need to be on a Windows > server? Currently it sits on a Linux box.
