I am trying to replace a variable $PageNo$ in header of the templte .docx file. However it replace the whole header with the value of variable.

Below is the script I am using.

Could some body tell what's wrong with it?

 

<?php

 

require_once '../../../classes/CreateDocx.php';

 

$docx = new CreateDocxFromTemplate('example_addFootnote_2.docx');

 

// create the Word fragment that is going to replace the variable

$wf = new WordFragment($docx);




 

// insert all the content in the Word fragment we are going to use for replacement

$wf->addText("hello I replaced the variable.");

 

$docx->replaceVariableByWordFragment(array('PageNo' => $wf), array( 'target' => "header"));

 

$docx->createDocx('example_replaceVariableByWordFragment_1');

print "OK";

 

?>

 

 

Header in template .docx file 

Hello I am default header. 2mdc.com with random image:
Page Number:   $PageNo$

Hello,

You are doing a block type replacement that removes the whole paragraph of the placeholder. You need to use an inline type replacement.

Regards.
