Code samples

Example #1

require_once 'classes/CreateDocx.php';

$docx = new CreateDocx();

// add footers into the first section
$footerTextFirstSection = new WordFragment($docx, 'firstFooter');
$footerTextFirstSection->addText('Footer in the first section');

// create a Word fragment with an image to be inserted in the footer of the document
$imageOptions = array(
	'src' => 'image.png',
	'dpi' => 300,
);
$footerImageFirstSection = new WordFragment($docx, 'defaultFooter');
$footerImageFirstSection->addImage($imageOptions);
// by default, addFooterSection adds footers into the last section
$docx->addFooterSection(array('first' => $footerTextFirstSection, 'default' => $footerImageFirstSection));
// add some text
$docx->addText('This section has a footer with a text in the first footer and an image as default footer.');

$docx->addBreak(array('type' => 'page'));

$docx->addText('Second page');

// create a new section
$docx->addSection();

// add footers into the new section

// contents with dependencies such as images and links share the same internal header/footer scope for all sections in phpdocx.
// These contents must be created and added in order when adding headers and footers per section
$footerTextSecondSection = new WordFragment($docx, 'firstFooter');
$footerTextSecondSection->addText('Footer in the second section');

$footerContentSecondSection = new WordFragment($docx, 'defaultFooter');
$imageOptions = array(
	'src' => 'imageP1.png',
	'dpi' => 300,
    'textWrap' => 1,
);
$footerContentSecondSection->addImage($imageOptions);

// add a page numbering
$style = array(
    'bold' => true,
    'color' => 'B70000',
    'fontSize' => 24,
);
// create a custom style
$docx->createParagraphStyle('pgStyle', $style);
// set some formatting options
$options = array(
    'textAlign' => 'right',
    'pStyle' => 'pgStyle',
);
$footerContentSecondSection->addPageNumber('numerical', $options);
$footerContentSecondSection->addBreak();

// by default, addFooterSection adds the footers into the last section
$docx->addFooterSection(array('first' => $footerTextSecondSection, 'default' => $footerContentSecondSection));

$docx->addText('A new section.');

$docx->addBreak(array('type' => 'page'));

$docx->addText('Second page in the second section.');

$docx->addBreak(array('type' => 'page'));

$docx->addText('Last page.');

$docx->createDocx('output');

The resulting Word document looks like:

$docx->addBreak(array('type' => 'page'));
$docx->addText('Another page in the third section.');
$docx->addBreak(array('type' => 'page'));
$docx->addText('Last page in the third section.');

// insert footers using the section position option

// contents with dependencies such as images and links share the same internal header/footer scope for all sections in phpdocx.
// These contents must be created and added in order when adding headers and footers per section

// footers in the first section

$footerTextSecondSection = new WordFragment($docx, 'defaultFooter');
$footerTextSecondSection->addText('Footer in the second section');

$docx->addFooterSection(array('default' => $footerTextSecondSection), 1);

// footers in the last section

);
$footerContentLastSection->addImage($imageOptions);

// by default, addFooterSection adds the footers into the last section

// -1 as position can also be used to set the last section
//$docx->addFooterSection(array('first' => $footerTextLastSection, 'default' => $footerContentLastSection), -1);
