I am currently following the example here https://www.phpdocx.com/api-documentation/templates/replace-variable-text-Word-document, but the example is a bit confusing.

 

require_once 'classes/CreateDocx.php';

$docx = new CreateDocxFromTemplate('document.docx');

$first = 'PHPDocX';
$multiline = 'This is the first line.\nThis is the second line of text.';
$variables = array('FIRSTTEXT' => $first, 'MULTILINETEXT' => $multiline);

$options = array('parseLineBreaks' =>true);
$docx->replaceVariableByText($variables, $options);

$docx->createDocx('output');

 

1. As you can see the example above, it is using the CreateDocxFromTemplate class but then the imported class was CreateDocx.php.
