I want to extract the text content from the word document with PHP.
I have created a new word document in Microsoft Word for Mac 2011. Edit: have also tested by creating the same document in Microsoft Word under Windows 7.
The contents of the document is
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog
I have saved it to disk as a Word 97-2004 Document (.doc).
I'm using phpoffice/phpword and this code to extract the text:
<?php
$source = "word.doc";
$phpWord = \PhpOffice\PhpWord\IOFactory::load($source, 'MsDoc');
$text = '';
$sections = $phpWord->getSections();
foreach ($sections as $s) {
$els = $s->getElements();
foreach ($els as $e) {
if (get_class($e) === 'PhpOffice\PhpWord\Element\Text') {
$text .= $e->getText();
} elseif (get_class($e) === 'PhpOffice\PhpWord\Section\TextBreak') {
$text .= " \n";
} else {
throw new Exception('Unknown class type ' . get_class($e));
}
}
}
print $text;
The output of this code is only parts of the text:
The quick brown fox j
Is there a problem with the code, or is it some kind of compatibility issue?
Edit:
If I add a var_dump($els);
before foreach ($els as $e) {
the output is this:

Try to create your reader before
$source = "word.doc";
// create your reader object
$phpWordReader = \PhpOffice\PhpWord\IOFactory::createReader('MsDoc');
// read source
if($phpWordReader->canRead($source)) {
$phpWord = $phpWordReader->load($source);
... // rest of your code
}
Answer is based on this example and API documentation
