## Word Template

This package provides a binary executable to generate word from 

templates and a wrapper object _WordTemplate_ to use it in PHP.

The binary is compiled from c++, which uses the 

[DocxFactory](http://docxfactory.com/) third party library.

### Requirements

The usage relies on a system executable. This means that certain

libraries are required.

- **GCC v5+** - by installing gcc you should have most of these

libraries available

- **libstdc++ 6.0.21** - in certain cases you might have issues 

(like on centos); the problem you might have is with this lib

which needs to be configured manually 

([download](https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7S255p3kFXNNTIzU2thRlZmYVE/edit))

- **PHP NTS** (Non-Thread-Safe) - this is required because for some

reason the thread safe is not allowed to execute the binary

### Installation

```

composer require archfz/word-template:1.3.x-dev

```

**Note:** require with the specified version, otherwise not the

'package' branch will be used. This branch is better as it does

not include all the c++ source files and libraries that are not

required for functionality.

### Usage

First you need to create a template word document. This must be 

**.docx**. 

In it you create placeholders with braces like the

following: **{placeholder}**. 

You can also bookmark things that you select and then these 

elements will be cloneable. For example bookmark the upper 

placeholder and name it '**myplaceholder**'.

In case of the above described word template you can do the 

following:

```php

use archfz/Word/WordTemplate

$template = new WordTemplate('test.docx');

$template->paste('myplaceholder');

$template->setValue('placeholder', 'Put one here');

$template->paste('myplaceholder');

$template->setValue('placeholder', 'Put another different');

$template->compile();

```

Which will produce a **test_compiled.docx** with two lines:

```

Put one here

Put another different

```
