Using phpdocx with CodeIgniter is as simple as copying the phpdocx content package to the application/libraries/phpdocx directory and load the CreateDocx class.

To have the phpdocx API methods available, just load the library in the controller:

public function index()

{

    $this->load->library('phpdocx/classes/CreateDocx', '', 'phpdocx');

​

    $this->phpdocx->addText('This is a test');

    $this->phpdocx->embedHTML('<p style="font-size: 30px;">New paragraph</p>');

    $this->phpdocx->createDocx(APPPATH . '/documents/output.docx');

}

​

In order to save the document, the documents folder in the APPATH path must have read/write permissions.
