Hi and thanks for any tips in advance.

PROBLEM

Depending on the selctions made by the User, a number of template docx are selected and then merged into a single document before being used in a createfromtemplate scenario.

I tried the sample code which works well with the docs to be merged hardcoded in.

However, given that the docs to be merged will vary in quantity I need a dynamic way to achieve this.

Attempted Solutions

I have tried creating an array of the template docx with the following code:

$this->merge->mergeDocx($path . 'tCoverPage.docx', $listComponets, $path .'template.docx', array('mergeType' => 0));

and also createing a string like this:

$a = implode($listComponents, '","');
$b = '"' . $a . '"';
$this->merge->mergeDocx($path . 'tCoverPage.docx', array($b), $path .'template.docx', array('mergeType' => 0));

and neither seem to work. I know its not a problem with PHPDOCX as the sample work.

Am I using the merge function incorrectly or is there another way to dynamically change which documents are merged.

Thanks in anticipation of any assistance.
