Hello Team,

I need to add two or more merge fields on single line.

Like:  Address <<address_line_1>>, <<address_line_2>>, <<address_line_3>>

I tried using addMergeField() but it's not working as expected.

Output is like below:

Address

<<address_line_1>>

,

<<address_line_2>>

,

<<address_line_3>>

 

Can you please help me for same.

Thanks

Hello,

You need to use phpdocx 7.5 and WordFragments. For example:

$docx = new CreateDocx();

$mergeField1 = new WordFragment($docx);
$mergeField1->addMergeField('MyMergeField1', null, array('underline' => 'dash'));

$mergeField2 = new WordFragment($docx);
$mergeParameters = array(
    'textBefore' => 'A mergefield example: ', 
    'textAfter' => ' and some text afterwards.'
);
$mergeField2->addMergeField('MyMergeField2', $mergeParameters, array('color' => 'B70000'));

$text = array();
$text[] = $mergeField1;
$text[] = array(
    'text' => ' ',
);
$text[] = $mergeField2;

$docx->addText($text);

$docx->createDocx('document');

Regards.

Hello,

That is available since the release of phpdocx 7.5. What version and license of phpdocx are you using?

Regards.

Hello,

Sorry but that feature is not available for phpdocx 7.0, only for phpdocx 7.5 (and newer when new releases of phpdocx appear).

If you have the LUS (https://www.phpdocx.com/updates) for your license you can download the latest package on MY PHPDOCX after login. Otherwise, you can upgrade your license on this same page. We have tested the previous script with phpdocx 7.5 and all merge field styles and properties keep.

Regards.
