Topic: Woking from template

Posted by Simco uwkm · 19-12-2017 - 10:50

We have template file with coverpage for our document.
on cover page i have placeholder which is getting replaced

$docx = new \Phpdocx\Create\CreateDocxFromTemplate(__DIR__ . '/../../Resources/Public/Templates/Quotation_front_'.$short.'.docx');
/* some code with defining header variable */

$docx->replaceVariableByHTML('HEADING', 'block', $header, array('isFile' => false, 'parseDivsAsPs' => true));

then we need to have be on next page since we are done with the coverpage

$docx->addBreak('page');

/* creating html on-fly and embedding that into doc */
$productElement = new \Phpdocx\Elements\WordFragment($docx, 'products');
$productElement->embedHTML($html);
$docx->addWordML($productElement);

but when i insert my content it places it in cover page.
so the question is how i can move to the next page

well have solved my problem by adding sections instead of pagebreaks

$options = array('marginRight'=> 850, 'marginLeft'=>850);
$docx->addSection('nextPage', 'A4', $options);

Hello,

Yes, you can use sections too. But if you prefer using the addBreak method, the code you are using:

$docx->addBreak('page');

is not correct. This is the correct line to add a new page break:

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

You can check it on the API page (https://www.phpdocx.com/api-documentation/word-content/insert-line-column-page-break-Word-document-with-PHP).

Regards.
