Reading/Writing a MS Word file in PHP

Question

Is it possible to read and write Word (2003 and 2007) files in PHP without using a COM object? I know that I can:

$file = fopen(\'c:\\file.doc\', \'w+\');
fw

One way to manipulate Word files with PHP that you may find interesting is with the help of PHPDocX. You may see how it works having a look at its online tutorial. You can insert or extract contents or even merge multiple Word files into a asingle one.
