Try to get php to fopen a Word document

Dear all I'm trying to get PHP to read the content which created by MS Word.But when php runs, and it just return Nothing (Blank ) to the browser!! Actually , i was thinking to make a HTML Page which can let user to type in the content, then the content will copy to a file and finally a php will pick the content of that file and display it to browser! I had tried to use "fput" and "fgets" before, which it work, but the second time i type in something again from the input HTML, it doesn't change the content of that file. actually it remain the same as i last type in!!! IS there any good suggestion for performing this task??? User Input ---> Copy content to a file ---> Read content & display to browser! Thx jack jack@nedcor.com
