Answer 1

You can fetch the contents from docx and doc files and can show them in browser, but you can not show it as what you see in microsft word, you need to format it.

Or you need to write a browser plugin to identify .docx exetension and show there, as for pdf files.

<?php
    function read_file_docx($filename){

        $striped_content = '';
        $content = '';

        if(!$filename || !file_exists($filename)) return false;

        $zip = zip_open($filename);

        if (!$zip || is_numeric($zip)) return false;


        while ($zip_entry = zip_read($zip)) {

            if (zip_entry_open($zip, $zip_entry) == FALSE) continue;

            if (zip_entry_name($zip_entry) != "word/document.xml") continue;

            $content .= zip_entry_read($zip_entry, zip_entry_filesize($zip_entry));

            zip_entry_close($zip_entry);
        }// end while

        zip_close($zip);

        //echo $content;
        //echo "<hr>";
        //file_put_contents('1.xml', $content);     

        $content = str_replace('</w:r></w:p></w:tc><w:tc>', " ", $content);
        $content = str_replace('</w:r></w:p>', "\r\n", $content);
        $striped_content = strip_tags($content);

        return $striped_content;
    }



    $filename = "customers.docx";

    $content = read_file_docx($filename);
    if($content !== false) {

        echo nl2br($content);   
    }
    else {
        echo 'Couldn\'t find the file. Please check that file.';
    }
