# Introduction

PHPWord is a library written in pure PHP that provides a set of classes to write to and read from different document file formats. The current version of PHPWord supports Microsoft [Office Open XML](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_Open_XML) (OOXML or OpenXML), OASIS [Open Document Format for Office Applications](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenDocument) (OpenDocument or ODF), and [Rich Text Format](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rich_Text_Format) (RTF).

PHPWord is an open source project licensed under the terms of [LGPL version 3](https://github.com/PHPOffice/PHPWord/blob/develop/COPYING.LESSER). PHPWord is aimed to be a high quality software product by incorporating [continuous integration](https://travis-ci.org/PHPOffice/PHPWord) and [unit testing](http://phpoffice.github.io/PHPWord/coverage/develop/). You can learn more about PHPWord by reading this Developers' Documentation and the [API Documentation](http://phpoffice.github.io/PHPWord/docs/develop/).

# Installing/configuring

## Requirements

Mandatory:

- PHP 5.3+
- PHP [Zip](http://php.net/manual/en/book.zip.php) extension
- PHP [XML Parser](http://www.php.net/manual/en/xml.installation.php) extension

Optional PHP extensions:

- [GD](http://php.net/manual/en/book.image.php)
- [XMLWriter](http://php.net/manual/en/book.xmlwriter.php)
- [XSL](http://php.net/manual/en/book.xsl.php)

## Installation

There are two ways to install PHPWord, i.e. via [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/) or manually by downloading the library.

### Using Composer

To install via Composer, add the following lines to your `composer.json`:

```json
{
    "require": {
       "phpoffice/phpword": "dev-master"
    }
}
```

### Manual install

To install manually, [download PHPWord package from github](https://github.com/PHPOffice/PHPWord/archive/master.zip). Extract the package and put the contents to your machine. To use the library, include `src/PhpWord/Autoloader.php` in your script and invoke `Autoloader::register`.

```php
require_once '/path/to/src/PhpWord/Autoloader.php';
\PhpOffice\PhpWord\Autoloader::register();
```

## Using samples

After installation, you can browse and use the samples that we've provided, either by command line or using browser. If you can access your PHPWord library folder using browser, point your browser to the `samples` folder, e.g. `http://localhost/PhpWord/samples/`.

# 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/).

```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.

```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.

```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:

```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:

```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.

```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));
```

# Containers

Containers are objects where you can put elements (texts, lists, tables, etc). There are 3 main containers, i.e. sections, headers, and footers. There are 3 elements that can also act as containers, i.e. textruns, table cells, and footnotes.

## Sections

Every visible element in word is placed inside of a section. To create a section, use the following code:

```php
$section = $phpWord->addSection($sectionSettings);
```

The `$sectionSettings` is an optional associative array that sets the section. Example:

```php
$sectionSettings = array(
    'orientation' => 'landscape',
    'marginTop' => 600,
    'colsNum' => 2,
);
```

### Section settings

Below are the available settings for section:

- `orientation` Page orientation, i.e. 'portrait' (default) or 'landscape'
- `marginTop` Page margin top in twips
- `marginLeft` Page margin left in twips
- `marginRight` Page margin right in twips
- `marginBottom` Page margin bottom in twips
- `borderTopSize` Border top size in twips
- `borderTopColor` Border top color
- `borderLeftSize` Border left size in twips
- `borderLeftColor` Border left color
- `borderRightSize` Border right size in twips
- `borderRightColor` Border right color
- `borderBottomSize` Border bottom size in twips
- `borderBottomColor` Border bottom color
- `headerHeight` Spacing to top of header
- `footerHeight` Spacing to bottom of footer
- `gutter` Page gutter spacing
- `colsNum` Number of columns
- `colsSpace` Spacing between columns
- `breakType` Section break type (nextPage, nextColumn, continuous, evenPage, oddPage)

The following two settings are automatically set by the use of the `orientation` setting. You can alter them but that's not recommended.

- `pageSizeW` Page width in twips
- `pageSizeH` Page height in twips

### Page number

You can change a section page number by using the `pageNumberingStart` property of the section.

```php
// Method 1
$section = $phpWord->addSection(array('pageNumberingStart' => 1));

// Method 2
$section = $phpWord->addSection();
$section->getSettings()->setPageNumberingStart(1);
```

### Multicolumn

You can change a section layout to multicolumn (like in a newspaper) by using the `breakType` and `colsNum` property of the section.

```php
// Method 1
$section = $phpWord->addSection(array('breakType' => 'continuous', 'colsNum' => 2));

// Method 2
$section = $phpWord->addSection();
$section->getSettings()->setBreakType('continuous');
$section->getSettings()->setColsNum(2);
```

### Line numbering

You can apply line numbering to a section by using the `lineNumbering` property of the section.

```php
// Method 1
$section = $phpWord->addSection(array('lineNumbering' => array()));

// Method 2
$section = $phpWord->addSection();
$section->getSettings()->setLineNumbering(array());
```

Below are the properties of the line numbering style.

- `start` Line numbering starting value
- `increment` Line number increments
- `distance` Distance between text and line numbering in twip
- `restart` Line numbering restart setting continuous|newPage|newSection

## Headers

Each section can have its own header reference. To create a header use the `addHeader` method:

```php
$header = $section->addHeader();
```

Be sure to save the result in a local object. You can use all elements that are available for the footer. See "Footer" section for detail. Additionally, only inside of the header reference you can add watermarks or background pictures. See "Watermarks" section.

## Footers

Each section can have its own footer reference. To create a footer, use the `addFooter` method:

```php
$footer = $section->addFooter();
```

Be sure to save the result in a local object to add elements to a footer. You can add the following elements to footers:

- Texts `addText` and `createTextrun`
- Text breaks
- Images
- Tables
- Preserve text

See the "Elements" section for the detail of each elements.

## Other containers

Textruns, table cells, and footnotes are elements that can also act as containers. See the corresponding "Elements" section for the detail of each elements.

# Elements

Below are the matrix of element availability in each container. The column shows the containers while the rows lists the elements.

| Num | Element       | Section | Header | Footer | Cell | Text Run | Footnote |
|-----|---------------|---------|--------|--------|------|----------|----------|
| 1   | Text          | v       | v      | v      | v    | v        | v        |

## Texts

Text can be added by using `addText` and `addTextRun` method. `addText` is used for creating simple paragraphs that only contain texts with the same style. `addTextRun` is used for creating complex paragraphs that contain text with different style (some bold, other italics, etc) or other elements, e.g. images or links. The syntaxes are as follow:

```php
$section->addText($text, [$fontStyle], [$paragraphStyle]);
$textrun = $section->addTextRun([$paragraphStyle]);
```

### Text styles

You can use the `$fontStyle` and `$paragraphStyle` variable to define text formatting. There are 2 options to style the inserted text elements, i.e. inline style by using array or defined style by adding style definition.

Inline style examples:

```php
$fontStyle = array('name' => 'Times New Roman', 'size' => 9);
$paragraphStyle = array('align' => 'both');
$section->addText('I am simple paragraph', $fontStyle, $paragraphStyle);

$textrun = $section->addTextRun();
$textrun->addText('I am bold', array('bold' => true));
$textrun->addText('I am italic', array('italic' => true));
$textrun->addText('I am colored', array('color' => 'AACC00'));
```

Defined style examples:

```php
$fontStyle = array('color' => '006699', 'size' => 18, 'bold' => true);
$phpWord->addFontStyle('fStyle', $fontStyle);
$text = $section->addText('Hello world!', 'fStyle');

$paragraphStyle = array('align' => 'center');
$phpWord->addParagraphStyle('pStyle', $paragraphStyle);
$text = $section->addText('Hello world!', 'pStyle');
```

$table->addRow([$height], [$rowStyle]);
$cell = $table->addCell($width, [$cellStyle]);
```

Table style can be defined with `addTableStyle`:

```php
$tableStyle = array(
    'borderColor' => '006699',
    'borderSize' => 6,
    'cellMargin' => 50
);
$firstRowStyle = array('bgColor' => '66BBFF');
$phpWord->addTableStyle('myTable', $tableStyle, $firstRowStyle);
$table = $section->addTable('myTable');
```

You can span a cell on multiple columns by using `gridSpan` or multiple rows by using `vMerge`.

```php
$cell = $table->addCell(200);
$cell->getStyle()->setGridSpan(5);
```

See `Sample_09_Tables.php` for more code sample.

## Images

To add an image, use the `addImage` method to sections, headers, footers, textruns, or table cells.

```php
$section->addImage($src, [$style]);
```

- source String path to a local image or URL of a remote image
- styles Array fo styles for the image. See below.

Examples:

```php
$section = $phpWord->addSection();
$section->addImage(
    'mars.jpg',
    array(
        'width' => 100,
        'height' => 100,
        'marginTop' => -1,
        'marginLeft' => -1,
        'wrappingStyle' => 'behind'
    )
);
$footer = $section->addFooter();
$footer->addImage('http://example.com/image.php');
$textrun = $section->addTextRun();
$textrun->addImage('http://php.net/logo.jpg');
```

### Image styles

### Watermarks

To add a watermark (or page background image), your section needs a header reference. After creating a header, you can use the `addWatermark` method to add a watermark.

```php
$section = $phpWord->addSection();
$header = $section->addHeader();
$header->addWatermark('resources/_earth.jpg', array('marginTop' => 200, 'marginLeft' => 55));
```

## Objects

You can add OLE embeddings, such as Excel spreadsheets or PowerPoint presentations to the document by using `addObject` method.

```php
$section->addObject($src, [$style]);
```

## Table of contents

To add a table of contents (TOC), you can use the `addTOC` method. Your TOC can only be generated if you have add at least one title (See "Titles").

```php
$section->addTOC([$fontStyle], [$tocStyle], [$minDepth], [$maxDepth]);
```

- `$fontStyle`: See font style section
- `$tocStyle`: See available options below
- `$minDepth`: Minimum depth of header to be shown. Default 1
- `$maxDepth`: Maximum depth of header to be shown. Default 9

Options for `$tocStyle`:

- `tabLeader` Fill type between the title text and the page number. Use the defined constants in PHPWord\_Style\_TOC.
- `tabPos` The position of the tab where the page number appears in twips.
- `indent` The indent factor of the titles in twips.

## Footnotes & endnotes

You can create footnotes with `addFootnote` and endnotes with `addEndnote` in texts or textruns, but it's recommended to use textrun to have better layout. You can use `addText`, `addLink`, `addTextBreak`, `addImage`, `addObject` on footnotes and endnotes.

On textrun:

```php
$textrun = $section->addTextRun();
$textrun->addText('Lead text.');
$footnote = $textrun->addFootnote();
$footnote->addText('Footnote text can have ');
$footnote->addLink('http://test.com', 'links');
$footnote->addText('.');
$footnote->addTextBreak();
$footnote->addText('And text break.');
$textrun->addText('Trailing text.');
$endnote = $textrun->addEndnote();
$endnote->addText('Endnote put at the end');
```

On text:

```php
$section->addText('Lead text.');
$footnote = $section->addFootnote();
$footnote->addText('Footnote text.');
```

The footnote reference number will be displayed with decimal number starting from 1. This number use `FooterReference` style which you can redefine by `addFontStyle` method. Default value for this style is `array('superScript' => true)`;

## Checkboxes

Checkbox elements can be added to sections or table cells by using `addCheckBox`.

```php
$section->addCheckBox($name, $text, [$fontStyle], [$paragraphStyle])
```

- `$name` Name of the check box.
- `$text` Text following the check box
- `$fontStyle` See "Font style" section.
- `$paragraphStyle` See "Paragraph style" section.

# Templates

You can create a docx template with included search-patterns that can be replaced by any value you wish. Only single-line values can be replaced. To load a template file, use the `loadTemplate` method. After loading the docx template, you can use the `setValue` method to change the value of a search pattern. The search-pattern model is: `${search-pattern}`. It is not possible to add new PHPWord elements to a loaded template file.

Example:

```php
$template = $phpWord->loadTemplate('Template.docx');
$template->setValue('Name', 'Somebody someone');
$template->setValue('Street', 'Coming-Undone-Street 32');
```

See `Sample_07_TemplateCloneRow.php` for example on how to create multirow from a single row in a template by using `cloneRow`.

See `Sample_23_TemplateBlock.php` for example on how to clone a block of text using `cloneBlock` and delete a block of text using `deleteBlock`.

## Create float left image

Use absolute positioning relative to margin horizontally and to line vertically.

```php
$imageStyle = array(
    'width' => 40,
    'height' => 40
    'wrappingStyle' => 'square',
    'positioning' => 'absolute',
    'posHorizontalRel' => 'margin',
    'posVerticalRel' => 'line',
);
$textrun->addImage('resources/_earth.jpg', $imageStyle);
$textrun->addText($lipsumText);
```

## Download the produced file automatically

Use `php://output` as the filename.

```php
$phpWord = new \PhpOffice\PhpWord\PhpWord();
$section = $phpWord->createSection();
$section->addText('Hello World!');
$file = 'HelloWorld.docx';
header("Content-Description: File Transfer");
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="' . $file . '"');
header('Content-Type: application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document');
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0');
header('Expires: 0');
$xmlWriter = \PhpOffice\PhpWord\IOFactory::createWriter($phpWord, 'Word2007');
$xmlWriter->save("php://output");
```

## Create numbered headings

Define a numbering style and title styles, and match the two styles (with `pStyle` and `numStyle`) like below.

```php
$phpWord->addNumberingStyle(
    'hNum',
    array('type' => 'multilevel', 'levels' => array(
        array('pStyle' => 'Heading1', 'format' => 'decimal', 'text' => '%1'),
        array('pStyle' => 'Heading2', 'format' => 'decimal', 'text' => '%1.%2'),
        array('pStyle' => 'Heading3', 'format' => 'decimal', 'text' => '%1.%2.%3'),
        )
    )
);
$phpWord->addTitleStyle(1, array('size' => 16), array('numStyle' => 'hNum', 'numLevel' => 0));
$phpWord->addTitleStyle(2, array('size' => 14), array('numStyle' => 'hNum', 'numLevel' => 1));
$phpWord->addTitleStyle(3, array('size' => 12), array('numStyle' => 'hNum', 'numLevel' => 2));

$section->addTitle('Heading 1', 1);
$section->addTitle('Heading 2', 2);
$section->addTitle('Heading 3', 3);
```

# Frequently asked questions

## Is this the same with PHPWord that I found in CodePlex?

No. This one is much better with tons of new features that you can’t find in PHPWord 0.6.3. The development in CodePlex is halted and switched to GitHub to allow more participation from the crowd. The more the merrier, right?

## I’ve been running PHPWord from CodePlex flawlessly, but I can’t use the latest PHPWord from GitHub. Why?

PHPWord requires PHP 5.3+ since 0.8, while PHPWord 0.6.3 from CodePlex can run with PHP 5.2. There’s a lot of new features that we can get from PHP 5.3 and it’s been around since 2009! You should upgrade your PHP version to use PHPWord 0.8+.
