We welcome everyone to contribute to PHPWord. Below are some of the things that you can do to contribute:
Mandatory:
Optional PHP extensions:
There are two ways to install PHPWord, i.e. via Composer or manually by downloading the library.
To install via Composer, add the following lines to your composer.json
:
{
"require": {
"phpoffice/phpword": "dev-master"
}
}
To install manually, download PHPWord package from github. Extract the package and put the contents to your machine. To use the library, include src/PhpWord/Autoloader.php
in your script and invoke Autoloader::register
.
require_once '/path/to/src/PhpWord/Autoloader.php';
\PhpOffice\PhpWord\Autoloader::register();
After installation, you can browse and use the samples that we’ve provided, either by command line or using browser. If you can access your PHPWord library folder using browser, point your browser to the samples
folder, e.g. http://localhost/PhpWord/samples/
.
The following is a basic example of the PHPWord library. More examples are provided in the samples folder.
<?php
require_once 'src/PhpWord/Autoloader.php';
\PhpOffice\PhpWord\Autoloader::register();
// Creating the new document...
$phpWord = new \PhpOffice\PhpWord\PhpWord();
/* Note: any element you append to a document must reside inside of a Section. */
// Adding an empty Section to the document...
$section = $phpWord->addSection();
// Adding Text element to the Section having font styled by default...
$section->addText(
htmlspecialchars(
'"Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. '
. 'The important thing is not to stop questioning." '
. '(Albert Einstein)'
)
);
/*
* Note: it's possible to customize font style of the Text element you add in three ways:
* - inline;
* - using named font style (new font style object will be implicitly created);
* - using explicitly created font style object.
*/
// Adding Text element with font customized inline...
$section->addText(
htmlspecialchars(
'"Great achievement is usually born of great sacrifice, '
. 'and is never the result of selfishness." '
. '(Napoleon Hill)'
),
array('name' => 'Tahoma', 'size' => 10)
);
// Adding Text element with font customized using named font style...
$fontStyleName = 'oneUserDefinedStyle';
$phpWord->addFontStyle(
$fontStyleName,
array('name' => 'Tahoma', 'size' => 10, 'color' => '1B2232', 'bold' => true)
);
$section->addText(
htmlspecialchars(
'"The greatest accomplishment is not in never falling, '
. 'but in rising again after you fall." '
. '(Vince Lombardi)'
),
$fontStyleName
);
// Adding Text element with font customized using explicitly created font style object...
$fontStyle = new \PhpOffice\PhpWord\Style\Font();
$fontStyle->setBold(true);
$fontStyle->setName('Tahoma');
$fontStyle->setSize(13);
$myTextElement = $section->addText(
htmlspecialchars('"Believe you can and you\'re halfway there." (Theodor Roosevelt)')
);
$myTextElement->setFontStyle($fontStyle);
// Saving the document as OOXML file...
$objWriter = \PhpOffice\PhpWord\IOFactory::createWriter($phpWord, 'Word2007');
$objWriter->save('helloWorld.docx');
// Saving the document as ODF file...
$objWriter = \PhpOffice\PhpWord\IOFactory::createWriter($phpWord, 'ODText');
$objWriter->save('helloWorld.odt');
// Saving the document as HTML file...
$objWriter = \PhpOffice\PhpWord\IOFactory::createWriter($phpWord, 'HTML');
$objWriter->save('helloWorld.html');
/* Note: we skip RTF, because it's not XML-based and requires a different example. */
/* Note: we skip PDF, because "HTML-to-PDF" approach is used to create PDF documents. */
The PhpOffice\PhpWord\Settings
class provides some options that will affect the behavior of PHPWord. Below are the options.
This option sets XMLWriter::setIndent and XMLWriter::setIndentString. The default value of this option is true
(compatible), which is required for OpenOffice to render OOXML document correctly. You can set this option to false
during development to make the resulting XML file easier to read.
\PhpOffice\PhpWord\Settings::setCompatibility(false);
By default, PHPWord uses PHP ZipArchive to read or write ZIP compressed archive and the files inside them. If you can’t have ZipArchive installed on your server, you can use pure PHP library alternative, PCLZip, which included with PHPWord.
\PhpOffice\PhpWord\Settings::setZipClass(\PhpOffice\PhpWord\Settings::PCLZIP);
By default, every text appears in Arial 10 point. You can alter the default font by using the following two functions:
$phpWord->setDefaultFontName('Times New Roman');
$phpWord->setDefaultFontSize(12);
You can set the document information such as title, creator, and company name. Use the following functions:
$properties = $phpWord->getDocInfo();
$properties->setCreator('My name');
$properties->setCompany('My factory');
$properties->setTitle('My title');
$properties->setDescription('My description');
$properties->setCategory('My category');
$properties->setLastModifiedBy('My name');
$properties->setCreated(mktime(0, 0, 0, 3, 12, 2014));
$properties->setModified(mktime(0, 0, 0, 3, 14, 2014));
$properties->setSubject('My subject');
$properties->setKeywords('my, key, word');
The base length unit in Open Office XML is twip. Twip means “TWentieth of an Inch Point”, i.e. 1 twip = 1/1440 inch.
You can use PHPWord helper functions to convert inches, centimeters, or points to twips.
// Paragraph with 6 points space after
$phpWord->addParagraphStyle('My Style', array(
'spaceAfter' => \PhpOffice\PhpWord\Shared\Converter::pointToTwip(6))
);
$section = $phpWord->addSection();
$sectionStyle = $section->getStyle();
// half inch left margin
$sectionStyle->setMarginLeft(\PhpOffice\PhpWord\Shared\Converter::inchToTwip(.5));
// 2 cm right margin
$sectionStyle->setMarginRight(\PhpOffice\PhpWord\Shared\Converter::cmToTwip(2));
Containers are objects where you can put elements (texts, lists, tables, etc). There are 3 main containers, i.e. sections, headers, and footers. There are 3 elements that can also act as containers, i.e. textruns, table cells, and footnotes.
Every visible element in word is placed inside of a section. To create a section, use the following code:
$section = $phpWord->addSection($sectionStyle);
The $sectionStyle
is an optional associative array that sets the section. Example:
$sectionStyle = array(
'orientation' => 'landscape',
'marginTop' => 600,
'colsNum' => 2,
);
You can change a section page number by using the pageNumberingStart
style of the section.
// Method 1
$section = $phpWord->addSection(array('pageNumberingStart' => 1));
// Method 2
$section = $phpWord->addSection();
$section->getStyle()->setPageNumberingStart(1);
You can change a section layout to multicolumn (like in a newspaper) by using the breakType
and colsNum
style of the section.
// Method 1
$section = $phpWord->addSection(array('breakType' => 'continuous', 'colsNum' => 2));
// Method 2
$section = $phpWord->addSection();
$section->getStyle()->setBreakType('continuous');
$section->getStyle()->setColsNum(2);
You can apply line numbering to a section by using the lineNumbering
style of the section.
// Method 1
$section = $phpWord->addSection(array('lineNumbering' => array()));
// Method 2
$section = $phpWord->addSection();
$section->getStyle()->setLineNumbering(array());
Below are the properties of the line numbering style.

method:
$header = $section->addHeader();
Be sure to save the result in a local object. You can use all elements that are available for the footer. See “Footer” section for detail. Additionally, only inside of the header reference you can add watermarks or background pictures. See “Watermarks” section.
Each section can have its own footer reference. To create a footer, use the addFooter
method:
$footer = $section->addFooter();
Be sure to save the result in a local object to add elements to a footer. You can add the following elements to footers:
addText
and createTextrun
See the “Elements” section for the detail of each elements.
Textruns, table cells, and footnotes are elements that can also act as containers. See the corresponding “Elements” section for the detail of each elements.
Below are the matrix of element availability in each container. The column shows the containers while the rows lists the elements.

Should be availableText can be added by using addText
and addTextRun
method. addText
is used for creating simple paragraphs that only contain texts with the same style. addTextRun
is used for creating complex paragraphs that contain text with different style (some bold, other italics, etc) or other elements, e.g. images or links. The syntaxes are as follow:
$section->addText($text, [$fontStyle], [$paragraphStyle]);
$textrun = $section->addTextRun([$paragraphStyle]);
You can use the $fontStyle
and $paragraphStyle
variable to define text formatting. There are 2 options to style the inserted text elements, i.e. inline style by using array or defined style by adding style definition.
Inline style examples:
$fontStyle = array('name' => 'Times New Roman', 'size' => 9);
$paragraphStyle = array('align' => 'both');
$section->addText('I am simple paragraph', $fontStyle, $paragraphStyle);
$textrun = $section->addTextRun();
$textrun->addText('I am bold', array('bold' => true));
$textrun->addText('I am italic', array('italic' => true));
$textrun->addText('I am colored', array('color' => 'AACC00'));
Defined style examples:
$fontStyle = array('color' => '006699', 'size' => 18, 'bold' => true);
$phpWord->addFontStyle('fStyle', $fontStyle);
$text = $section->addText('Hello world!', 'fStyle');
$paragraphStyle = array('align' => 'center');
$phpWord->addParagraphStyle('pStyle', $paragraphStyle);
$text = $section->addText('Hello world!', 'pStyle');
If you want to structure your document or build table of contents, you need titles or headings. To add a title to the document, use the addTitleStyle
and addTitle
method.
$phpWord->addTitleStyle($depth, [$fontStyle], [$paragraphStyle]);
$section->addTitle($text, [$depth]);
Its necessary to add a title style to your document because otherwise the title won’t be detected as a real title.
You can add Hyperlinks to the document by using the function addLink:
$section->addLink($linkSrc, [$linkName], [$fontStyle], [$paragraphStyle]);
$linkSrc
The URL of the link.$linkName
Placeholder of the URL that appears in the document.$fontStyle
See “Font style” section.$paragraphStyle
See “Paragraph style” section.The addPreserveText
method is used to add a page number or page count to headers or footers.
$footer->addPreserveText('Page {PAGE} of {NUMPAGES}.');
Text breaks are empty new lines. To add text breaks, use the following syntax. All paramaters are optional.
$section->addTextBreak([$breakCount], [$fontStyle], [$paragraphStyle]);
$breakCount
How many lines$fontStyle
See “Font style” section.$paragraphStyle
See “Paragraph style” section.There are two ways to insert a page breaks, using the addPageBreak
method or using the pageBreakBefore
style of paragraph.
$section->addPageBreak();
To add a list item use the function addListItem
.
Basic usage:
$section->addListItem($text, [$depth], [$fontStyle], [$listStyle], [$paragraphStyle]);
Parameters:
$text
Text that appears in the document.$depth
Depth of list item.$fontStyle
See “Font style” section.$listStyle
List style of the current element TYPE_NUMBER, TYPE_ALPHANUM, TYPE_BULLET_FILLED, etc. See list of constants in PHPWord_Style_ListItem.$paragraphStyle
See “Paragraph style” section.Advanced usage:
You can also create your own numbering style by changing the $listStyle
parameter with the name of your numbering style.
$phpWord->addNumberingStyle(
'multilevel',
array('type' => 'multilevel', 'levels' => array(
array('format' => 'decimal', 'text' => '%1.', 'left' => 360, 'hanging' => 360, 'tabPos' => 360),
array('format' => 'upperLetter', 'text' => '%2.', 'left' => 720, 'hanging' => 360, 'tabPos' => 720),
)
)
);
$section->addListItem('List Item I', 0, null, 'multilevel');
$section->addListItem('List Item I.a', 1, null, 'multilevel');
$section->addListItem('List Item I.b', 1, null, 'multilevel');
$section->addListItem('List Item II', 0, null, 'multilevel');
To add tables, rows, and cells, use the addTable
, addRow
, and addCell
methods:
$table = $section->addTable([$tableStyle]);
$table->addRow([$height], [$rowStyle]);
$cell = $table->addCell($width, [$cellStyle]);
Table style can be defined with addTableStyle
:
$tableStyle = array(
'borderColor' => '006699',
'borderSize' => 6,
'cellMargin' => 50
);
$firstRowStyle = array('bgColor' => '66BBFF');
$phpWord->addTableStyle('myTable', $tableStyle, $firstRowStyle);
$table = $section->addTable('myTable');
You can span a cell on multiple columns by using gridSpan
or multiple rows by using vMerge
.
$cell = $table->addCell(200);
$cell->getStyle()->setGridSpan(5);
See Sample_09_Tables.php
for more code sample.
To add an image, use the addImage
method to sections, headers, footers, textruns, or table cells.
$section->addImage($src, [$style]);
Examples:
$section = $phpWord->addSection();
$section->addImage(
'mars.jpg',
array(
'width' => 100,
'height' => 100,
'marginTop' => -1,
'marginLeft' => -1,
'wrappingStyle' => 'behind'
)
);
$footer = $section->addFooter();
$footer->addImage('http://example.com/image.php');
$textrun = $section->addTextRun();
$textrun->addImage('http://php.net/logo.jpg');
To add a watermark (or page background image), your section needs a header reference. After creating a header, you can use the addWatermark
method to add a watermark.
$section = $phpWord->addSection();
$header = $section->addHeader();
$header->addWatermark('resources/_earth.jpg', array('marginTop' => 200, 'marginLeft' => 55));
You can add OLE embeddings, such as Excel spreadsheets or PowerPoint presentations to the document by using addObject
method.
$section->addObject($src, [$style]);
To add a table of contents (TOC), you can use the addTOC
method. Your TOC can only be generated if you have add at least one title (See “Titles”).
$section->addTOC([$fontStyle], [$tocStyle], [$minDepth], [$maxDepth]);
$fontStyle
: See font style section$tocStyle
: See available options below$minDepth
: Minimum depth of header to be shown. Default 1$maxDepth
: Maximum depth of header to be shown. Default 9Options for $tocStyle
:
tabLeader
Fill type between the title text and the page number. Use the defined constants in PHPWord_Style_TOC.tabPos
The position of the tab where the page number appears in twips.indent
The indent factor of the titles in twips.You can create footnotes with addFootnote
and endnotes with addEndnote
in texts or textruns, but it’s recommended to use textrun to have better layout. You can use addText
, addLink
, addTextBreak
, addImage
, addObject
on footnotes and endnotes.
On textrun:
$textrun = $section->addTextRun();
$textrun->addText('Lead text.');
$footnote = $textrun->addFootnote();
$footnote->addText('Footnote text can have ');
$footnote->addLink('http://test.com', 'links');
$footnote->addText('.');
$footnote->addTextBreak();
$footnote->addText('And text break.');
$textrun->addText('Trailing text.');
$endnote = $textrun->addEndnote();
$endnote->addText('Endnote put at the end');
On text:
$section->addText('Lead text.');
$footnote = $section->addFootnote();
$footnote->addText('Footnote text.');
The footnote reference number will be displayed with decimal number starting from 1. This number use FooterReference
style which you can redefine by addFontStyle
method. Default value for this style is array('superScript' => true)
;
Checkbox elements can be added to sections or table cells by using addCheckBox
.
$section->addCheckBox($name, $text, [$fontStyle], [$paragraphStyle])
$name
Name of the check box.$text
Text following the check box$fontStyle

See font styleYou can create a .docx document template with included search-patterns which can be replaced by any value you wish. Only single-line values can be replaced.
To deal with a template file, use new TemplateProcessor
statement. After TemplateProcessor instance creation the document template is copied into the temporary directory. Then you can use TemplateProcessor::setValue
method to change the value of a search pattern. The search-pattern model is: ${search-pattern}
.
Example:
$templateProcessor = new TemplateProcessor('Template.docx');
$templateProcessor->setValue('Name', 'Somebody someone');
$templateProcessor->setValue('Street', 'Coming-Undone-Street 32');
It is not possible to directly add new OOXML elements to the template file being processed, but it is possible to transform main document part of the template using XSLT (see TemplateProcessor::applyXslStyleSheet
).
See Sample_07_TemplateCloneRow.php
for example on how to create multirow from a single row in a template by using TemplateProcessor::cloneRow
.
See Sample_23_TemplateBlock.php
for example on how to clone a block of text using TemplateProcessor::cloneBlock
and delete a block of text using TemplateProcessor::deleteBlock
.

header('Expires: 0');
$xmlWriter = \PhpOffice\PhpWord\IOFactory::createWriter($phpWord, 'Word2007');
$xmlWriter->save("php://output");
Define a numbering style and title styles, and match the two styles (with pStyle
and numStyle
) like below.
$phpWord->addNumberingStyle(
'hNum',
array('type' => 'multilevel', 'levels' => array(
array('pStyle' => 'Heading1', 'format' => 'decimal', 'text' => '%1'),
array('pStyle' => 'Heading2', 'format' => 'decimal', 'text' => '%1.%2'),
array('pStyle' => 'Heading3', 'format' => 'decimal', 'text' => '%1.%2.%3'),
)
)
);
$phpWord->addTitleStyle(1, array('size' => 16), array('numStyle' => 'hNum', 'numLevel' => 0));
$phpWord->addTitleStyle(2, array('size' => 14), array('numStyle' => 'hNum', 'numLevel' => 1));
$phpWord->addTitleStyle(3, array('size' => 12), array('numStyle' => 'hNum', 'numLevel' => 2));
$section->addTitle('Heading 1', 1);
$section->addTitle('Heading 2', 2);
$section->addTitle('Heading 3', 3);
Apply ‘HeadingN’ paragraph style to TextRun or Link. Sample code:
$phpWord = new \PhpOffice\PhpWord\PhpWord();
$phpWord->addTitleStyle(1, array('size' => 16, 'bold' => true));
$phpWord->addTitleStyle(2, array('size' => 14, 'bold' => true));
$phpWord->addFontStyle('Link', array('color' => '0000FF', 'underline' => 'single'));
$section = $phpWord->addSection();
// Textrun
$textrun = $section->addTextRun('Heading1');
$textrun->addText('The ');

No. This one is much better with tons of new features that you can’t find in PHPWord 0.6.3. The development in CodePlex is halted and switched to GitHub to allow more participation from the crowd. The more the merrier, right?
PHPWord requires PHP 5.3+ since 0.8, while PHPWord 0.6.3 from CodePlex can run with PHP 5.2. There’s a lot of new features that we can get from PHP 5.3 and it’s been around since 2009! You should upgrade your PHP version to use PHPWord 0.8+.
