    Why doesn't embedding external images in HTML work ?

    $html .= "<img src='http://url.com/image.jpg'/>";
$docx->embedHTML($html);

    Using phpdocx-corporate-5.5

    Hello,

    We have tested it and the image is added correctly. Maybe you need to set downloadImages as true; we recommend you to read the documentation available on:

    https://www.phpdocx.com/documentation/cookbook/insert-images-html

    As you are using phpdocx 5.5, the stream mode is not available. This stream mode is only available since phpdocx 7.5 and newer.

    Regards.

    $docx = new CreateDocx();
$text = 'Testing 123';
$docx->addText($text);
$img_src = "https://chart.googleapis.com/chart?chs=250x100&chd=t:60,40&cht=p3&chl=Hello|World";
$html = "<img src='{$img_src}'/>";
$docx->embedHTML($html);
$docx->createDocx('../chart');

    I get Read Error.

    Hello,

    You are trying to add a not static image (a file) as phpdocx 7 and previous versions of phpdocx need. You need to download the image and then insert it or use the stream mode available in phpdocx 7.5 and newer.

    Regards.
