Document_file_format Doc files are binary blobs.They can be read by using fopen.While .docx files are just zip files and xml files xml files in a zipfile container (source wikipedia) you can read them by using zip_open.

Usage of above class

$docObj = new DocxConversion("test.doc");
//$docObj = new DocxConversion("test.docx");
//$docObj = new DocxConversion("test.xlsx");
//$docObj = new DocxConversion("test.pptx");
echo $docText= $docObj->convertToText();

How to extract text from a Word doc / docx and perform logic using PHP

For docx file, you can try this

 $zip = zip_open($file);

                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);

It will extract the DOCX document into text, because you can't get with only using file_get_content from php

And for DOC file

if (($fh = fopen($file, 'rb')) !== false) {
                $headers = fread($fh, 0xA00);

                // read doc from 0 to 255 characters
                $n1 = (ord($headers[0x21C]) - 1);

                // read doc from 256 to 63743 characters
                $n2 = ((ord($headers[0x21D]) - 8) * 256);

                // read doc from 63744 to 16775423 characters
                $n3 = ((ord($headers[0x21E]) * 256) * 256);

                //read doc from 16775424 to 4294965504 characters
                $n4 = (((ord($headers[0x21F]) * 256) * 256) * 256);

                // Total length of text in the document
                $textLength = ($n1 + $n2 + $n3 + $n4);
                ini_set('memory_limit', '-1');
                $extracted_plaintext = fread($fh, $textLength);
            }

After you convert it to text, times to crawl your desired text to using REGEX
