    I want to add HTML to a variable in my template.docx file. The HTML is being passed from a textarea as a post and when it comes through in my docx file it is HTML not formatted for word

    $docx->addTemplateVariable('event_details', $details, 'html');

    but it works when I enter the actual HTML in the function and not pass it as a string.

    $docx->addTemplateVariable('event_details', '<strong>This is a test</strong>', 'html');

    any thoughts as to why I can not pass the HTML as a string received by a post?????

    Are you working with a WYSIWYG Editor as textarea. If so, check if you are its real html you are passing. You could do that for example with var_dump($details). Maybe the tags have been removed with a htmlspecialchars call. In this case you would have to do a htmlspecialchars_decode() call. But without more information i am just guessing.

    Hello,

    As RamirezZ says, check HTML string. Seems there's something wrong within generated HTML.

    Regards.

    I have that fixed. I added a bit of code to your function addTemplateVariable

    [code]public function addTemplateVariable($var, $value = '', $settings = '')
    {
    if($settings == 'html') //added by CH
    {
    $value= html_entity_decode($value);
    }
    $template = CreateTemplate::getInstance();
    self::$log->info(
    'Assign and replace text variable ' . $var . ' in template.'
    );
    $template->replaceVariable($var, $value, $settings);
    }[/code]

    This seemed to work well. The only issue I have now is when I generate the PDF. My images are not showing up. I have one large 8.5 x 11 jpg in the header of my word template as a background. I have two text boxes placed where I need my content that is entered by the user goes. My PDF shows a big red x. The image is at 300 dpi for printing purposes. Thoughts?
