If the earlier DAY of compare is today, this will not show proper representation. and that 4000 yr issue is just plain bad. Consider refactoring to somthing more like `intval(substr(date('Ymd') - date('Ymd', strtotime($birthdate)), 0, -4))` as that is a better representation of how we humans calculate birthdays

$word = new COM("word.application") or die("Unable to instantiate Word");
$word->Documents->Open($filename);
$new_filename = substr($filename,0,-4) . ".txt";
// the '2' parameter specifies saving in txt format

$word->Documents[1]->SaveAs($new_filename,2);
$word->Documents[1]->Close(false);
$word->Quit();
$word->Release();
$word = NULL;
unset($word);
$fh = fopen($new_filename, 'r');
// this is where we exit Hell

$contents = fread($fh, filesize($new_filename));
fclose($fh);
unlink($new_filename);

I have been waiting for this update for so long. Congratulations Chuq! It was all that training!

Oh, good job Drew. Ha!

Seriously, I tell everyone about your goal and am so proud of you for making it. I have some goals of my own. It's hard to say if and when I will complete them, or if I'll be able to tell that I have - But i'll tell you i'm feeling good.

And i'm super proud of you two, wiggle-butt and hole-in-chest.
