PHPWORD: create word documents online

demo

PHPWord is a library written in PHP that create word documents.
No Windows operating system is needed for usage because the result are docx files (Office Open XML) that can be opened by all major office software.

PHPWord is based on the fantastic PHPExcel / PHPPowerPoint libraries.

docxgen.js is a small library to generate docx documents given a docx template. It can replace tags by their values and replace images with other images. It is very user oriented as users can without a lot of programming knowledge create their first template and automatically change variables in it.
Replace Variables
Formating
Loops
Loops and tables
Lists
Replacing images
Naming the output

Word does a lot of changes when opening a docx and saving it again, so I would'nt trust this. I don't even know where it would be possible to store hidden and persistent data inside document.xml.


Here's an idea to get what you need using an other technique.
Hello {name}with name="edi9999" will be replaced by Hello edi9999
{#names}Hello {name}{/names}with names=[{name:"John"},{name:"Mary"},{name:"Jane"}]
will be replaced by:
Hello JohnHello MaryHello JaneNow the trick to comment out a section is to use an empty array.
if names=[]
the output will be an empty string. If you want to uncomment it, use an array with one element.

I have created an implementation of this for Javascript (works on Node and in Browser): https://github.com/edi9999/docxgenjs
There's a demo Here:

oodocx is a fork/modification/Python 3 port of Mike MacCana's excellent python-docx module. Here are some of the differences of oodocx from python-docx:
1. Object Oriented. As the name suggests, oodocx has an object-oriented aspect. The Docx class represents the various files that comprise a docx file, which is simply a zip file that contains primarily xml files. The document.xml file is the main document that holds most of the content that you find in a word document. However, this module also gives you easy access to most of the other files that typically comprise a docx file as attributes of the Docx class. For example, the root element in styles.xml of a Docx object named "d" can be accessed as d.styles. This allows for greater control of the look, feel, and metadata of a docx file.
2. Python 3 compatible.
3. Expanded functionality, particularly for people with limited knowledge of xml who want to get started quickly on their docx scripting projects. Some examples include the modify_font and modify_paragraph functions, which allow for easy modification of common font and paragraph properties of an element or a list of elements.
4. oodocx keeps all of the files in the Docx zip, rather than just the document.xml file. This helps to preserve formatting and ensures that pictures, comments, and other elements in a Docx won't break from save to save.

InstallationFirst, ensure that you have the appropriate version of lxml installed. Then, clone this repository, navigate your shell window to the oodocx directory folder that contains the setup.py file, and enter "python setup.py install" (or just "setup.py install", depending on how you execute python files on your computer)

How do I...First of all, be sure to check out the /examples folder for basic examples of this module


Create a new document, insert a paragraph of text, and save it

1. d = oodocx.Docx()
   
2. d.body.append(oodocx.paragraph('Hello world!'))
   
3. d.save('hello.docx')

复制代码

Open a document, insert a paragraph after the paragraph containing the word "apple", and save it somewhere else

1. d = oodocx.Docx(r'C:\users\applecart\apples.docx')
   
2. apple_para = d.search('apple', result_type='paragraph')
   
3. pos = body.index(apple_para) + 1 #lxml
   
4. d.body.insert(pos, oodocx.paragraph('Bananas!')) #lxml
   
5. d.save(r'C:\users\bananstand\there's always money here.docx')

复制代码

Note that the index() and insert() methods in the fourth and fifth lines of the above code are from the underlying lxml module. Check out the documentation here.

Here's a basic Python implementation using oodocx, a module that I'm currently developing.

1. from oodocx import oodocx
   
2. from lxml import etree
   
3. 
   
4. d = oodocx.Docx('template.docx')
   
5. body = d.get_body()
   
6. paragraph_to_remove = d.search('Some text here', result_type='paragraph')
   
7. body.remove(paragraph_to_remove)
   
8. d.save('new document.docx')

OverviewThe sfTinyDocPlugin allows to generate OpenOffice (OpenDocument) and Word 2007 documents with TinyButStrong template engine.

• Prerequisite :
  
  
  • PHP 5.2
  • symfony framework 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2 (for the plugin)
    
• History :
  The previous class was named tbsOOo. I rewrite the class to have a clean code with new methods and add some new functionnality like :
  
  
  • works with the last version of TinyButStrong
  • better support of specials characters like carriage return, new line and tab
  • can generate Word 2007 documents
  • can add images (only OpenDocument)
  • can merge data with native format in OpenOffice spreadsheet
  • two methods to zip and unzip the office files (zip with command line and the pecl ZipArchive)
  • and a plugin for symfony framework : sfTinyDocPlugin
    
• The office formats supported :
  
  
  • OpenOffice 1.0 or OpenDocument 1.0
  • OpenOffice 2.0 or OpenDocument 1.1
  • Word 2007
    
• It's useful :
  
  
  • To create word processing and spreadsheet documents.
  • To create reports, bill, orders.
  • To create mailing.
  • To create multi pages documents.
  • To use the power of the TinyButStrong template engine syntax :
    
    • Merge fields
    • Merge blocks (repetitive fields)
    • and more...
      
• It's not :
  
  
  • To create an Office document from scratch.
  • To convert a document from OpenOffice to Word or to PDF or else. See the project PyODConverter to do that.
    
• Avantages :
  
  
  • No installation of OpenOffice on the server side.
  • Works on *nix, win and other systems.
  • Templates can be created and modified easyly by designer.
  • Templates layouts and styles are made with OpenOffice or Word2007 application.
  • For the symfony framework
    
    • Works with sf1.0, sf1.1 and sf1.2
    • No dependance with ORM
    • Template have the same location as the symfony templates.
    • Template name have the same name as the symfony templates. moduleName/templates/actionNameSuccess.odt
    • Get the config from app.yml.
      
• Only for OpenDocument (OpenOffice) :
  
  
  • Merge pictures dynamicaly with the new parameter named 'image'.
  • Data in spreadsheet are converted to native OpenOffice format with the new parameter named 'type'.
    
    • Useful to work with spreadsheet formulas
    • Useful to work the spreadsheet formats
      
  • Transform data to a linkable text with the new parameter named 'link'.
    
• Limitations :
  
  
  • Can't merge collection of objects (iterator not supported in TinyButStrong, soon in next version), you have to transform to an array before.
    
    
    • For Propel write your own method like asArray() in the Jobeet tutorial, see day 16.
    • For Doctrine use the magic method : $result->toArray (false | true) to transform the result to an array, see : doctrine api
      
  • Can't change a style of the Office document by code, the styles are fix when you editing your Office document.
    
  • Can't merge global vars [var.xxx], use method mergeXmlField() in place of use globals vars
  • Can't merge sub-block because TinyButStrong need global vars, see headergrp syntax
    

Installation

• Install sfTinyDocPlugin :
  $ pear channel-discover pear.symfony-project.com$ symfony plugin-install http://plugins.symfony-project.com/sfTinyDocPluginOr from the SVN repository
  $ svn co http://svn.symfony-project.com/plugins/sfTinyDocPlugin/trunk/
• Optionally add the following config to app.yml :
  [yml]all:  sf_tiny_doc_plugin:    zip_method:    shell             # the method to zip/unzip : shell | ziparchive    zip_bin:       zip               # the binary to zip   for 'shell' method    unzip_bin:     unzip             # the binary to unzip for 'shell' method    process_dir:   %SF_WEB_DIR%/tmp  # the process directory
• Clear your cache :
  $ ./symfony cc
• Configure the method to zip/unzip office documents :
  
  
  • Method 1 : shell (by default)
    
    
    • To install Zip on Red Hat Enterprise Linux or CentOS
      $ yum install zip
    • To install Zip on Windows, download the zip binary and copy them onto your hard disk. It could be useful to modify your Windows global var path to use them without to specify the binary path.
      
      
  • Method 2 : ziparchive
    
    
    • To install Pecl ZipArchive on Red Hat Enterprise Linux or CentOS
      $ yum install httpd-devel   # if necessary$ pecl install zip
      
• Create a directory where to process temporary files, by example on web root :
  $ mkdir web/tmp$ chmod 777 web/tmp
  

and for Word2007 document (.docx)

• Change in your action
  $doc->createFrom();
  $doc->loadXml('content.xml');By
  $doc->createFrom(array('extension' => 'docx'));
  $doc->loadXml('word/document.xml');
• Create an Word2007 document (.docx) and paste the same as before.
  $doc->mergeXmlField() with a string[field1]$doc->mergeXmlField() with an array[field2.id] [field2.name]$doc->mergeXmlField() with an object[field3.getZipMethod][field3.getZipBinary][field3.getUnzipBinary]$doc->mergeXmlBlock() with an array[block1;block=begin][block1.$] [block1.firstname] [block1.lastname][block1;block=end]Num rows : [block1.#]
• Save the document as basicSuccess.docx in template directory doc/templates/
  
• You can now test the Word2007 document in a browser the result : doc/basicWord
  Tips$doc->createFrom();  // the defaut extension is 'odt'
  $doc->loadXml();     // the defaut XML filename is 'content.xml'
  

The basic structure of OpenDocument (OpenOffice) and Word 2007 files

• The documents are a zip archive format with these main files :
                    OpenDocument      Word2007content           content.xml       word/document.xmlmeta              meta.xml          ? settings          settings.xml      word/settings.xmlstyles            styles.xml        word/styles.xml     header            styles.xml        word/header1.xml     footer            styles.xml        word/footer1.xml     content.xml is the main file to merge in OpenOffice documents.
  word/document.xml is the main file to merge in Word 2007 documents.
  content.xml is the defaut file in loadXml() method.
  See more on :
  
  
  • OpenOffice XML website
  • OpenDocument XML website
  • OASIS OpenDocument Essentials
    
• The XML tags you have to know :
              HTML tags     OpenDocument XML tags     Word2007 XML tagstable       <table>       <table:table>             <w:tbl>row         <tr>          <table:table-row>         <w:tr>cell        <td>          <table:table-cell>        <w:tc>paragraph   <p>           <text:p>                  <w:p>
  

The method to merge data

• Before merging data, you have to load the XML file with the loadXml() method.
• After merging data, you have to save the result of merging in the XML file with the saveXml() method.
  Each time you have to merge data with an another file you have to
  $doc->loadXml('content.xml');
  // ...
  $doc->mergeXml(...);
  $doc->mergeXmlField(...);
  $doc->mergeXmlBlock(...);
  $doc->mergeXml(...);
  // ...
  $doc->saveXml();
  
  
  $doc->loadXml('styles.xml');
  // ...
  $doc->mergeXml(...);
  $doc->mergeXmlField(...);
  $doc->mergeXmlBlock(...);
  $doc->mergeXml(...);
  // ...
  $doc->saveXml();
