All the text of a .doc file is inside the [text] properties nested inside corresponding [elements] properties of the object PHPWord creates when loading your .doc file. Search for them in the object you get after running $phpWord = \PhpOffice\PhpWord\IOFactory::load($filename, 'MsDoc'); in your code.

These properties by default are protected. You will have to first change their status to public in PHPWord library files - for [elements] it is AbstractContainer.php, and for [text] it is Text.php. Once you have changed the status of these two properties to public, you can afterwards extract/access them from your $phpWord object.

Did not work, the $phpWord object does not have these properties. — amir22, Dec 02 '22 at 08:02
