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
|
|
|
|
<?php
|
|
require_once 'bootstrap.php';
|
|
|
|
// Creating the new document...
|
|
$phpWord = new \PhpOffice\PhpWord\PhpWord();
|
|
|
|
/* Note: any element you append to a document must reside inside of a Section. */
|
|
|
|
// Adding an empty Section to the document...
|
|
$section = $phpWord->addSection();
|
|
// Adding Text element to the Section having font styled by default...
|
|
$section->addText(
|
|
'"Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. '
|
|
. 'The important thing is not to stop questioning." '
|
|
. '(Albert Einstein)'
|
|
);
|
|
|
|
/*
|
|
* Note: it's possible to customize font style of the Text element you add in three ways:
|
|
* - inline;
|
|
* - using named font style (new font style object will be implicitly created);
|
|
* - using explicitly created font style object.
|
|
*/
|
|
|
|
// Adding Text element with font customized inline...
|
|
$section->addText(
|
|
'"Great achievement is usually born of great sacrifice, '
|
|
. 'and is never the result of selfishness." '
|
|
. '(Napoleon Hill)',
|
|
array('name' => 'Tahoma', 'size' => 10)
|
|
);
|
|
|
|
// Adding Text element with font customized using named font style...
|
|
$fontStyleName = 'oneUserDefinedStyle';
|
|
$phpWord->addFontStyle(
|
|
$fontStyleName,
|
|
array('name' => 'Tahoma', 'size' => 10, 'color' => '1B2232', 'bold' => true)
|
|
);
|
|
$section->addText(
|
|
'"The greatest accomplishment is not in never falling, '
|
|
. 'but in rising again after you fall." '
|
|
. '(Vince Lombardi)',
|
|
$fontStyleName
|
|
);
|
|
|
|
// Adding Text element with font customized using explicitly created font style object...
|
|
$fontStyle = new \PhpOffice\PhpWord\Style\Font();
|
|
$fontStyle->setBold(true);
|
|
$fontStyle->setName('Tahoma');
|
|
$fontStyle->setSize(13);
|
|
$myTextElement = $section->addText('"Believe you can and you\'re halfway there." (Theodor Roosevelt)');
|
|
$myTextElement->setFontStyle($fontStyle);
|
|
|
|
// Saving the document as OOXML file...
|
|
$objWriter = \PhpOffice\PhpWord\IOFactory::createWriter($phpWord, 'Word2007');
|
|
$objWriter->save('helloWorld.docx');
|
|
|
|
// Saving the document as ODF file...
|
|
$objWriter = \PhpOffice\PhpWord\IOFactory::createWriter($phpWord, 'ODText');
|
|
$objWriter->save('helloWorld.odt');
|
|
|
|
// Saving the document as HTML file...
|
|
$objWriter = \PhpOffice\PhpWord\IOFactory::createWriter($phpWord, 'HTML');
|
|
$objWriter->save('helloWorld.html');
|
|
|
|
/* Note: we skip RTF, because it's not XML-based and requires a different example. */
|
|
/* Note: we skip PDF, because "HTML-to-PDF" approach is used to create PDF documents. */
|
|
|
|
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 `Zip extension <http://php.net/manual/en/book.zip.php>`__
|
|
to deal with ZIP compressed archives and files inside them. If you can't have
|
|
Zip extension installed on your server, you can use pure PHP library
|
|
alternative, `PclZip <http://www.phpconcept.net/pclzip/>`__, which is
|
|
included in PHPWord.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: php
|
|
|
|
\PhpOffice\PhpWord\Settings::setZipClass(\PhpOffice\PhpWord\Settings::PCLZIP);
|
|
|
|
Output escaping
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Writing documents of some formats, especially XML-based, requires correct output escaping.
|
|
Without it your document may become broken when you put special characters like ampersand, quotes, and others in it.
|
|
|
|
Escaping can be performed in two ways: outside of the library by a software developer and inside of the library by built-in mechanism.
|
|
By default, the built-in mechanism is disabled for backward compatibility with versions prior to v0.13.0.
|
|
To turn it on set ``outputEscapingEnabled`` option to ``true`` in your PHPWord configuration file or use the following instruction at runtime:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: php
|
|
|
|
\PhpOffice\PhpWord\Settings::setOutputEscapingEnabled(true);
|
|
|
|
Spelling and grammatical checks
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
By default spelling and grammatical errors are shown as soon as you open a word document.
|
|
For big documents this can slow down the opening of the document. You can hide the spelling and/or grammatical errors with:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: php
|
|
|
|
$phpWord->getSettings()->setHideGrammaticalErrors(true);
|
|
$phpWord->getSettings()->setHideSpellingErrors(true);
|
|
|
|
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 information
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
You can set the document information such as title, creator, and company
|
|
name. Use the following functions:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: php
|
|
|
|
$properties = $phpWord->getDocInfo();
|
|
$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\Converter::pointToTwip(6))
|
|
);
|
|
|
|
$section = $phpWord->addSection();
|
|
$sectionStyle = $section->getStyle();
|
|
// half inch left margin
|
|
$sectionStyle->setMarginLeft(\PhpOffice\PhpWord\Shared\Converter::inchToTwip(.5));
|
|
// 2 cm right margin
|
|
$sectionStyle->setMarginRight(\PhpOffice\PhpWord\Shared\Converter::cmToTwip(2));
|
|
|
|
Language
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
You can hide spelling errors:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: php
|
|
\PhpOffice\PhpWord\Settings::setSpellingErrorsHidden(true);
|
|
|
|
And hide grammatical errors:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: php
|
|
\PhpOffice\PhpWord\Settings::setGrammaticalErrorsHidden(true);
|
