General usage
=============
Basic example
-------------
The following is a basic example of the PHPWord library. More examples
are provided in the `samples
folder <https://github.com/PHPOffice/PHPWord/tree/master/samples/>`__.
.. code-block:: php
require_once 'src/PhpWord/Autoloader.php';
\PhpOffice\PhpWord\Autoloader::register();
$phpWord = new \PhpOffice\PhpWord\PhpWord();
// Every element you want to append to the word document is placed in a section.
// To create a basic section:
$section = $phpWord->addSection();
// After creating a section, you can append elements:
$section->addText('Hello world!');
// You can directly style your text by giving the addText function an array:
$section->addText('Hello world! I am formatted.',
array('name'=>'Tahoma', 'size'=>16, 'bold'=>true));
// If you often need the same style again you can create a user defined style
// to the word document and give the addText function the name of the style:
$phpWord->addFontStyle('myOwnStyle',
array('name'=>'Verdana', 'size'=>14, 'color'=>'1B2232'));
$section->addText('Hello world! I am formatted by a user defined style',
'myOwnStyle');
// You can also put the appended element to local object like this:
$fontStyle = new \PhpOffice\PhpWord\Style\Font();
$fontStyle->setBold(true);
$fontStyle->setName('Verdana');
$fontStyle->setSize(22);
$myTextElement = $section->addText('Hello World!');
$myTextElement->setFontStyle($fontStyle);
// Finally, write the document:
$objWriter = \PhpOffice\PhpWord\IOFactory::createWriter($phpWord, 'Word2007');
$objWriter->save('helloWorld.docx');
$objWriter = \PhpOffice\PhpWord\IOFactory::createWriter($phpWord, 'ODText');
$objWriter->save('helloWorld.odt');
$objWriter = \PhpOffice\PhpWord\IOFactory::createWriter($phpWord, 'RTF');
$objWriter->save('helloWorld.rtf');
Settings
--------
The ``PhpOffice\PhpWord\Settings`` class provides some options that will
affect the behavior of PHPWord. Below are the options.
XML Writer compatibility
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This option sets
`XMLWriter::setIndent <http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.xmlwriter-set-indent.php>`__
and
`XMLWriter::setIndentString <http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.xmlwriter-set-indent-string.php>`__.
The default value of this option is ``true`` (compatible), which is
`required for
OpenOffice <https://github.com/PHPOffice/PHPWord/issues/103>`__ to
render OOXML document correctly. You can set this option to ``false``
during development to make the resulting XML file easier to read.
.. code-block:: php
\PhpOffice\PhpWord\Settings::setCompatibility(false);
Zip class
~~~~~~~~~
By default, PHPWord uses PHP
`ZipArchive <http://php.net/manual/en/book.zip.php>`__ to read or write
ZIP compressed archive and the files inside them. If you can't have
ZipArchive installed on your server, you can use pure PHP library
alternative, `PCLZip <http://www.phpconcept.net/pclzip/>`__, which
included with PHPWord.
.. code-block:: php
\PhpOffice\PhpWord\Settings::setZipClass(\PhpOffice\PhpWord\Settings::PCLZIP);
Default font
------------
By default, every text appears in Arial 10 point. You can alter the
default font by using the following two functions:
.. code-block:: php
$phpWord->setDefaultFontName('Times New Roman');
$phpWord->setDefaultFontSize(12);
Document properties
-------------------
You can set the document properties such as title, creator, and company
name. Use the following functions:
.. code-block:: php
$properties = $phpWord->getDocumentProperties();
$properties->setCreator('My name');
$properties->setCompany('My factory');
$properties->setTitle('My title');
$properties->setDescription('My description');
$properties->setCategory('My category');
$properties->setLastModifiedBy('My name');
$properties->setCreated(mktime(0, 0, 0, 3, 12, 2014));
$properties->setModified(mktime(0, 0, 0, 3, 14, 2014));
$properties->setSubject('My subject');
$properties->setKeywords('my, key, word');
Measurement units
-----------------
The base length unit in Open Office XML is twip. Twip means "TWentieth
of an Inch Point", i.e. 1 twip = 1/1440 inch.
You can use PHPWord helper functions to convert inches, centimeters, or
points to twips.
.. code-block:: php
// Paragraph with 6 points space after
$phpWord->addParagraphStyle('My Style', array(
'spaceAfter' => \PhpOffice\PhpWord\Shared\Font::pointSizeToTwips(6))
);
$section = $phpWord->addSection();
$sectionStyle = $section->getSettings();
// half inch left margin
$sectionStyle->setMarginLeft(\PhpOffice\PhpWord\Shared\Font::inchSizeToTwips(.5));
// 2 cm right margin
$sectionStyle->setMarginRight(\PhpOffice\PhpWord\Shared\Font::centimeterSizeToTwips(2));
