Hi

we are getting the exception "DOMDocument::loadXML(): Empty string supplied as input" (see https://ibb.co/2tySFhG) when using importStyles with 'replace' as second parameter and even the most simple word document (newly created MS Word with only 1 Word and a style applied). 

It works when the 'merge' param is used instead of 'replace'.
It works when using phpdocx version 9.5, but fails in 10.0.

$docx = new CreateDocx();
$docx->importStyles(resource_path('word/simple.docx'), 'replace');
$docx->createDocx('Output');

Seems to be a bug?

Regards

Hello,

You are right, there was a minor bug in the importStyles method. All phpdocx 10 packages (Basic, Advanced and Premium) has been fixed with the correction. If you don't want to download the new package, please edit CreateDocx.php (classes folder in the classic package or Classes/Phpdocx/Create in the namespaces package), and in the importStyles method replace the following line:

$this->_wordStylesT->loadXML($zipStyles->getContent('word/numbering.xml'));

with:

$this->_wordStylesT->loadXML($zipStyles->getContent('word/styles.xml'));

We apologise for any inconvenience caused

Regards.
