Re: reading microsoft word, excel, pdf document text

Just pass it on to that machine, and let it do this work. I personally would prefer doing this in perl. -ren ----- Original Message ----- From: "Erick Papadakis" <erick_papadakis@yahoo.com> To: "Reinke Bonte" <reinke@hknet.com>; <huntsman@www.nisu.flinders.edu.au>; <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Monday, March 26, 2001 12:26 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] reading microsoft word, excel, pdf document text > hi renike, > > thanks for that link, but looks like that tutorial > will only work on windows machines (because of COM > objects)? > > i am on a linux box. > > > cheers/erick > > > > --- Reinke Bonte <reinke@hknet.com> wrote: > > Hey Erick, > > > > unfortunately I know little about this myself, but > > I'm sure, this article > > will help you as a starting point. > > > > http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/alain20001003.php3 > > > > > > Good luck > > > > > > -ren > > > > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Get email at your own domain with Yahoo!
