Hi All!

Am looking for the php script to convert Doc content to HTML or TEXT..
My project doesnot require any thing related to COM settings and "save-as" ..fundas.

If you have access to a shell through php, you could try catdoc [directory.fsf.org].

I use it like this:

ob_start();
passthru('/usr/local/bin/catdoc ' . $filename);
$text = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

You could try the open source options such as hotscripts, sourceforge, freshmeat, and phpclasses.org.
