Hello,

You can use getDocxPathQueryInfo available in DOCXPath (https://www.phpdocx.com/documentation/introduction/docxpath) to query elements and extract information from them.

Regards.

I'm sure that I'm doing wrong, but in my case it does not work

I have a document with 2 bookmarks ( sorry, cannot insert image og doc)

$docx = new CreateDocxFromTemplate(storage_path('bookmark.docx'));

    try {
        return $docx->getDocxPathQueryInfo([
            'type' => 'bookmark'
        ]);
    } catch (\Exception $e) {
        Log::error($e->getMessage());
    }

 

result

array:3 [â–¼
  "elements" => DOMNodeList {#2358 â–¼
    +length: 0
  }
  "length" => 0
  "query" => "//w:body/w:bookmarkStart[1=1]"
]

Hello,

Please note the following option available when using DOCXPath methods:

parent    string  Main document body as default, allows to set any parent or a specific one. w:body (default), '/' (any parent) or any other specific parent (/w:tbl/, /w:tc/, /w:r/...).

As default, the query is done only to direct children of the main tag (w:body). If you want to get all bookmarks, this is with any parent, you need to set parent to '/'. For example:

$docx->getDocxPathQueryInfo([
  'type' => 'bookmark',
  'parent' => '/',
]);

Also note that in a DOCX, a bookmark is a single tag without other contents. To extract fields using getDocxPathQueryInfo you may need to do a custom DOCXPath query. If you send a sample DOCX to contact[@]phpdocx.com we can generate a sample script to illustrate it.
