This question already has an answer here:
doc files
$filename = 'ahfdghasfdh.doc';
header('Content-type: application/msword');
header('Content-Disposition: inline; filename="testqq"');
@readfile($filename);
I tried this code its not working. How to open the .doc files on browser using php.
</div>
Try below code.
<?php
$filename = 'ahfdghasfdh.doc';
header('Content-disposition: inline');
header('Content-type: application/msword'); // not sure if this is the correct MIME type
readfile($filename);
exit;
?>
You can open as like that:
<a href="yourfile.doc">MSWORD FILE</a>
And other solution @vinod already shared
And if you just want to open doc file on browser no application involved than I recommend to use GOOGLE DOCS.
