addImage

TRIAL / ADVANCED / PREMIUM

Inserts an image into the Word document.

Description

public addImage ( array $options )

You may use this method to insert images (jpg, gif, png, bmp or webp) into the Word document.

You may easily control:

the embedding and positioning of the image within a complex paragraph.
the size (if not explicitely given, phpdocx tries to read the width and height from the image headers).
the dpi or dots per inch (by default they are taken from the image headers or set to 96 dpi).
the scale (default 100%).
the target: main document (default), headers, footers...

Together with some general formatting options.

If one wishes to insert an image within a complex paragraph or a table one should use this method in combination with the addText or the addTable method.

To download images from remote URLs, please check that allow_url_fopen is enabled in the PHP config. If the remote images use HTTPS, please check that PHP is using a valid certification file and the SSL configuration is correct: More information.

Code samples

Example #1

require_once 'classes/CreateDocx.php';

$docx = new CreateDocx();

$docx->addText('In this first example we just add an image with a dashed border:');

$options = array(
    'src' => 'image.png',
    'imageAlign' => 'center',
    'scaling' => 50,
    'spacingTop' => 10,
    'spacingBottom' => 0,
    'spacingLeft' => 0,
    'spacingRight' => 20,
    'textWrap' => 0,
    'borderStyle' => 'lgDash',
    'borderWidth' => 6,
    'borderColor' => 'FF0000',
);

$docx->addImage($options);

$docx->addText('This is a closing paragraph.');

$docx->createDocx('output');

The resulting Word document looks like:

Example #2

    'spacingRight' => 20,
    'textWrap' => 1,
);

$docx->addImage($options);

$text = 'There is more than one way to make that the text wraps around an image. ';
$text .= 'Maybe the simplest is the one used here with the option textWrap = 1. ';
$text .= 'You may also placed it on the right using the float option.';

$docx->addText($text);

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

$text = 'Although you can have a little more control using Word fragments. ';
$text .= 'This is so because in the first example the image is in a paragraph of its own ';
$text .= 'while here it is inserted in the same paragraph as this text.';

$image = new WordFragment($docx);

$options = array(
    'src' => 'image.png',
    'scaling' => 40,
    'spacingTop' => 0,
    'spacingBottom' => 0,
    'spacingLeft' => 20,
    'spacingRight' => 0,
    'textWrap' => 1,
    'float' => right,

$image->addImage($options);

$runs = array();
