Guys I’m having a difficulty reading a Word file in the Windows, the situation is as follows:
I have a form where a person adds a word file in an input type file field. I want to take the text of this word, separate it into a variable to later write to the database. This is possible ?

You can use the library Phpword to do this. Just install it via Composer and use it together with Laravel (on the library link there are better installation and use instructions).
Following are examples of use:
Man I thought about it here : https://github.com/PHPOffice/PHPWord/blob/develop/samples/Sample_11_ReadWord2007.php. but it doesn’t really help either . is one of the library’s examples
But what do you need after all? You just want to turn the uploaded file into text?
Let’s assume that I just created a text inside a word file, I will take this word and upload it in a form on my site, after that the system receives that file, enters the file, takes the text that was typed and stores it in a variable... You could do that ?
@Danilotiagothaisantos I think I’ve done something like this, I’m trying to remember. I’ll pass you as soon as I’m more relaxed.
Oh cool ! I’m on hold.

So, I searched on this library, but it is only written (generation of a new word) .. in case I already have a word ready, I just wanted to take the text and save one in a variable.
