Regarding what monica at digitaldesignservices dot com has said. I have office 2007 on windows xp sp3 with xampp and I've upgrade office to sp2 (latest version as of today), but the script still hangs. Here's the script: <?php $filename = 'd:/document.doc'; $word = new COM("word.application") or die ("Could not initialise MS Word object."); $word->Documents->Open(realpath($filename)); // Extract content. $content = (string) $word->ActiveDocument->Content; echo $content; $word->ActiveDocument->Close(false); $word->Quit(); $word = null; unset($word); ?> After some debugging I found out that it hangs at $word->Documents->Open(); Can someone help me out? ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 79.112.102.152 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.com.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/97119 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97119/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97119/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97119/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97119/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97119/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97119/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97119 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/97119 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
