How to convert *.doc to *.docx file?

[hungdang6676]

I'm having a *.doc file, then if i use IOFactory::load($filename, 'MsDoc') to read the file, it's always show Notice: Uninitilized index..... So i want to convert the file to *.docx before read the file to avoid the problem. But how can i do that?

Yes i had an idea for this. Try to use php_com_dotnet.dll and create COM object to save as file...

I have the same one too. I wanted to convert the doc file to docx. It gave me the same result, i.e. an empty file.

How can you help me to do it correctly please?

Here is my code:

`<?php
require_once 'includes/init.php';
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

$filePath = 'test/example.doc';

// Creating the new document...
$phpWord = new \PhpOffice\PhpWord\PhpWord();

$docPath = $filePath;
$phpWord = new \PhpOffice\PhpWord\PhpWord();
// $document = $phpWord->loadTemplate($docPath);
$document = \PhpOffice\PhpWord\IOFactory::load($docPath,'MsDoc'); // When we use this getting unfomated documentt

$objWriter = \PhpOffice\PhpWord\IOFactory::createWriter($phpWord,'Word2007');
$docxPath = 'abc.docx';
$objWriter->save($docxPath);`
